Water quality parameters found in nutrient loads were sampled from Chepkoilel Marura river water runoff from predetermined gauging stations along the section of the research scope. Capacity of the swamp to achieve purication of the nutrient loads was also considered. The investigations were carried out during both wet and dry seasons 2021-03-01T00:00:00Z
