Flood Check
Nairobi flood, 5 to 8 Mar 2026
Garden Estate: how deep did the water get?
In the Flood Check model of the Nairobi flood of 5 to 8 March 2026, little water settled in Garden Estate: the wettest tenth had 2 cm or less.
The model has no river channels: water that reaches a river valley stays there, so depths beside the Nairobi, Mathare and Ngong rivers are higher than the real water was. It has no blocked drains either. Check the exact street.
