Whereas, photography is the art, science and practice of creating durable images by recording or other electromagnetic radiation, either chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film, or electronically by means of an image sensor (Schewe, 2012). It provides a less biased recording than observations; in addition, they can then be analyzed by others in their original formats (Flick, 2002). Observation refers to the systematic examination of real-time processes or operations with the goal of identifying needs/challenges or improving processes and practices that is, what can be seen. Observations typically incorporate a prescribed protocol containing specific measures of observable behavior and the narrative recording of the program activities and their context (Lofland and Lofland, 1995). The key informant interview to describe the meanings of central themes in the life world of the subjects. The main task in interviewing is to understand the meaning of what the interviewees say (Kvale, 1996). It seeks to cover both a factual and a meaning level, though it is usually more difficult to interview on a meaning level (Kvale). Interviews are particularly useful for getting the story behind a participant’s experiences. The interviewer can pursue in-depth information around the topic. Interviews may be useful as follow up to certain respondents to questionnaires, e.g., to further investigate their responses (McNamara, 1999). The key informant for this research was Eng timothy Ntimama, who is currently the Narok County Engineer. His involvement in the project as a whole helped to give insight on overall project appraisal. Focus group discussion seeks to get the opinions and views of those involved in the actual construction of the storm water drainage the group will include: the assistant resident engineer, representative of the contractor, materials supervising officer and a procurement representative from the contractor’s office. Their first hand experience will help give primary data for the technical appraisal of the project. A literature review is data collection method that involves reading and comparison of readily available materials like, journals, publications, reports, design drawings, metrological data and eBooks. It serves as a basis for comparison with data obtained from the field. Literature review
