  • National Investment Profile Water for Agriculture and Energy -Final Draft
    NATIONAL INVESTMENT PROFILE WATER FOR AGRICULTURE AND ENERGY -FINAL DRAFT- TANZANIA National Investment Profile. Water for Agriculture and Energy: Tanzania EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tanzania’s vision for using water resources for agriculture and energy are firmly embedded in both irrigation and hydropower development policies respectively. These issues are both part of the Tanzania poverty eradication agenda in line with the Tanzania Development Vision 2025 and the five year National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty, commonly known as MKUKUTA I (2005-2010) and MKUKUTA II (2010-2015) which is currently underway. The key policies which are followed for agriculture and hydropower are further supported by the Continental movement towards Africa’s Green revolution. Tanzania has signed the Comprehensive Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) compact and has initiated a number of programs and reforms to increase the investment in the agricultural sector. These programs have a strong emphasis on irrigation. Despite a total irrigation development potential in Tanzania of 29.4 million ha, only 450 392 ha have been irrigated thus demonstrating the need to develop the sector. Furthermore, irrigation practices in Tanzania show low water use efficiency, low water productivity and over dependency on surface water as a major source for irrigation development. The increased investment via the CAADP Compact should be able to support the development of the sector. Hydropower in the country contributes almost 50 percent of the energy produced. On a large scale, hydropower is being developed as a combined hydro-thermal system. On a smaller scale, hydropower is used as a source of renewable energy and a way to increase rural electrification.

Such estimates will form the basis for the final I design of the individual water supplies and for additional source I investigations where selected sources do not have sufficient yields. The low flow measurement programme was conducted during the months of September, October and November 1984. Two measurements were made at I most of the selected sites with approximately one month lag-time between them.

INTRODUCTION In accordance with a working paper: "Minimum Flow Assessment at Village Level - DANIDA - CCKK, September 1984", a low flow study programme was performed for a selected number of villages in the three regions of Iringa, Mbeya, and Ruvuma. The aim of the study was to provide the best possible estimates of the 10-year minimum flows at the selected sources of the village water supply schemes. The results of the low flow study are given in the DANIDA - CCKK report: "Hydrology - Low Flow Gaugings 1984", and it was found that several of the selected streams, were not able to meet the 2006 year demand for the villages. It was recommended to make a new low flow programme during the dry season of 1985 for the problematic vil- lages.
