A dam inside P.J Dave flower farm in Timau, Meru County. But that dream now hangs in the balance because in the past couple of days, a run-off from a flower farm uphill almost wiped out his entire farm harvest. The flooding was caused by a huge dam in the eight-acre flower farm overhanging Dunia village, which had overflown. Patrick Njoroge says the villagers also live in constant fear of a burst of a water reservoir up the hill. The flower farm, according to its neighbours, resorts to cutting off the drainage that feeds into the dam from the greenhouses runoff when the dam nears full capacity.
