River Yala is one of the major Rivers in Kenya. Many families depend on the river mainly for Agriculture and fishing and is therefore a source of livelihood for a vast number of families. This study established the threats to the river’s survival, effects to the local communities, and possible solutions. The findings of the study showed that sand mining, pollution and deforestation were major threatening factors to the survival of River Yala. These factors require government intervention to save the river from extinction and alleviate problems such as occasional drowning of animals, disease outbreak, water shortage, and food shortage among others. The solutions include educating the residents on disease control, planting trees, contour farming and pollution control.
