The tas) of the hydrologic work group is to provide an assessment of the state of water resources and e,pected future developments, and to evaluate the implicaons for agricultural food security strategies. It also invesgates how large-scale implementaon of 9P. would a:ect water resources in the pro6ect region. In a first step, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to gather an understanding of the processes a:ecng water resources on drainage basin and regional scale in Eastern and .outhern Africa. It also provided the frames for placing observed changes and pressures within a larger regional and temporal conte,t, which is especially important for the assessment of future developments and also recommendaons of acon. As it became apparent, Tan8ania lies within a 8one of strong hydrologic changes and reportedly high pressure from driving forces such as populaon growth, agricultural sector development, and climate change. In many cases, water demand already e,ceeds water availability, thus liming food producon and agricultural development (Besada 3 erner, 2015; Gunase)ara, Ka8ama, Yama8a)i, 3 O)i, 2014). The ami drainage basin, which is the site of the pro6ect field trials in Tan8ania, is no e,cepon to this case. In a second step, therefore, informaon on the concrete state of water resources in the sub-basins of the Trans-.EC case study sites was compiled. The findings described in the following secons are drawn from a number of relevant hydrologic sources, most importantly the 2015 “Atlas and 2eports on the ami12uvu 2iver BasinA by Global ater for .ustainability Program (GLO .-CI9), the 2013 “.tudy on ater 2esources Management and Development in ami12uvu BasinA by the Eapanese Internaonal Cooperaon Agency (EICA), and the 2010 “ ami Basin .ituaon AnalysisA by the Internaonal 9nion for Conservaon of Nature (I9CN)). The collated informaon on relevant hydrologic aspects provides important insights on the bac)ground of natural resources against which Trans-.EC is operang, and indicates framewor) condions for the intended 9P.. 3 Overview of study area (Wami river basin) In respect to water resources, the common spaal boundaries are usually drainage basins. A drainage basin is a hydrologic unit which is defined as an area where precipitaon runs o: from the land towards one common point such as a river, la)e or aGuifer. The boundaries of a drainage basin are oHen mar)ed by landscape features such as ridges or mountain Ian)s, which cause a disncve divide of the direcon the runo: is channeled to. 9sually, drainage basins are named aHer the longest-running river or largest la)e within a basin, and can be sub-divided into smaller sub-basins along the tributaries (9.G., 2014; MO, 2012). Drainage basin boundaries are geomorphologically defined and do therefore not e,actly coincide with administrave boundaries. Cigure 1 displays the di:erent spaal boundaries related to in the present report. The four Trans-.EC case study sites (C..) and the respecve wards are located in the ami catchment, while the respecve districts only parally coincide with the basin. The C.. villages in Chamwino district (Ilolo 3 Idifu) are aJributed to Kinyasungwe sub- basin, while those in Kilosa district (Ila)ala 3 Changarawe) are aJributed to M)ondoa sub-basin. Fig. 1: Location of Trans-SEC study sites and associated districts and river basins in Tanzania The ami basin is 43,742)mK large and covers the e,tent of the 637)m long ami river from its source in the Kaguru mountains in the west to its estuary in the Indian Ocean. It encompasses two naonal par)s (Mi)umi and .aadani), parts of the Eastern Arc Mountains (9)agurus and Ngurus), and several protected forest sites; however, none of these are in the direct reach of the C... The elevaon of the basin decreases from west to east, with Chamwino district located at around 1,000-1,300masl, while Kilosa district is around 600-900 masl. The di:erences in elevaon as well as the distance to the sea are the main factors driving the climac condions of the basin, with semi-arid condions in the western and increasingly humid condions in the eastern part (see Cigure 2). The inland receives one rainfall season around December, whereas the rest of the basin has two rainfall seasons with the ma6or one between March-May (“Masi)aA), and the minor one between October-December (“LuliA). Lery liJle rainfall is recorded in the dry season of Eune to .eptember. 4 The ma,imum temperatures are recorded in November M Cebruary and the minimum temperatures are recorded in Eune M August. Average annual temperatures are comparable at around 22-25NC in both regions; however, the temperature range is higher in Chamwino district. Potenal evapotranspiraon is also similar in both districts at around 1600mm1year (GLO .-CI9, 2014c; EICA, 2013b, 2013c). The Iow of the ami river and its tributaries is lin)ed to the described rainfall paJerns. As the basin lies in the meteorological transion 8one between the bimodal and unimodal rainfall regimes, river Iow regimes vary slightly depending on the amount of seasonal rainfall. Most large streams have a defined pea) during the long rains and a second smaller pea) during the short rains, with high Iows during periods of heavy rainfall. The lowest Iow is typically e,perienced in October, but low or no Iow periods e,tend longer for seasonal rivers. The rivers support a number of small- and larger scale irrigaon schemes, but the ma6ority of agriculture is rain-fed. There are no larger industrial comple,es or cies in the C.. vicinity, and the populaon density is about 100 persons1)mK in both Chamwino and Kilosa district (GLO .-CI9, 2014a, 2014c; I9CN, 2010; 2B O, 2008).

O:-farm income sources are limited, and the literacy rate is comparably low (63P). Chamwino district encompasses two C.., namely Idifu (Idifu ward) and Ilolo (Muungano ward). Both of these wards together cover appro,imately 230)mK, which is only a small poron of the total 16,483)mK of the Kinyasungwe sub-basin. Both C.. lie along an unnamed ephemeral river a which is a southern-west tributary of the Kinyasungwe river (Cig. 3) (GLO .-CI9, 2014c). Ilolo village is partly within 2ufi6i river basin, but the largest poron drains to the Kinyasungwe river;

Masija Irrigation Department Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives P.O. Box 9192 Dar es Salaam Summary Over 1,164,000 ha of wetland areas are listed as suitable for irrigation, mainly for crop production and livestock grazing. Existing and planned irrigation schemes are described for the ,main river basins where large areas are devoted to rice and sugar cane. Emphasis' is placed on the value of small scale, farmer-managed irrigation schemes and the rehabilitation of traditional systems. Introduction All wetlands are potentially suitable for agriculture because of their available water and high soil fertility. Due to national priorities or requirements some wetlands are put to other uses, such as game reserves. The total wetland area identified as suitable for irrigation development is estimated to be over 1,164,600 ha (Table 1). Wetlands are swamps or low lying areas of land which are subject to inundation, usually seasonally. They have hydromorphic soils, transitional morphological characteristics between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and support hydrophytes and halophytes. Wetlands in Tanzania can be characterised under four main categories: 1. Deltaic processes of rivers which discharge into the Indian Ocean and are characterised by flat topography, low lying relief and heavy'clay soils. They are subject to sea water intrusion which contributes to the salinisation of the soils which, under predominantly mangrove vegetation, are potentially acid sulphate.

  • The Case of Tanzania's Wami Ruvu Basin (WRB)
    water Article The Impacts of Water Demand and Its Implications for Future Surface Water Resource Management: The Case of Tanzania’s Wami Ruvu Basin (WRB) Mngereza Miraji 1,* , Jie Liu 1 and Chunmiao Zheng 1,2 1 Institute of Water Sciences, College of Engineering, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China; [email protected] (J.L.); [email protected] (C.Z.) 2 School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Southern University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen 518055, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 11 May 2019; Accepted: 14 June 2019; Published: 19 June 2019 Abstract: River basins around the world face similar issues of water scarcity, deficient infrastructure, and great disparities in water availability between sub-regions, both within and between countries. In this study, different strategies under the Water Evaluation and Planning system (WEAP) were assessed to mitigate water overuse practices under the Current Trend (CT), Economic Growth (EG), and Demand Side Management (DSM) scenarios in relation to current and future statuses of Tanzania’s Wami Ruvu Basin (WRB). The results show that neither domestic nor irrigation water demand will be met based on the current trend. Under the CT scenario, the total water demand is projected to rise from 1050.0 million cubic meters in the year 2015, to 2122.9 million cubic meters by the year 2035, while under the DSM scenario the demand dropped to 990.0 million cubic meters in the year 2015 and to 1715.8 million cubic meters by the year 2035. This study reveals that there is a positive correlation between the highest surface runoff events and the highest unmet demand events in the basin.

Samplings were carried out on 15 points that regarded as upstream, mid-section and downstream during the dry season and rainy season. Results obtained show that almost all parameters analysed relatively good quality compared to international standards for fresh water. Temperature shows a slight drop changes in ranges seasonally from 27o C to 30o C during dry season to 24o C to 28o C during rainy season which is within the recommended range for aquatic life safety. A pH obtained are within the recommended range of 6.6 to 7.4 in both seasons. Furthermore, the progression of pH does not vary considerably between upstream and downstream in seasons. A rise in EC particularly in the dry season, 518 µScm-1 was observed compared to that of 208 µScm-1 in rainy season.

  • The Politics of Nexus in the Wami-Ruvu River Basin, Tanzania
    www.water-alternatives.org Volume 10 | Issue 1 Mdee, A. 2017. Disaggregating orders of water scarcity - The politics of nexus in the Wami-Ruvu River Basin, Tanzania. Water Alternatives 10(1): 100-115 Disaggregating Orders of Water Scarcity - The Politics of Nexus in the Wami-Ruvu River Basin, Tanzania Anna Mdee Politics and International Studies (POLIS), University of Leeds, UK; [email protected] ABSTRACT: This article considers the dilemma of managing competing uses of surface water in ways that respond to social, ecological and economic needs. Current approaches to managing competing water use, such as Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and the concept of the water-energy-food nexus do not adequately disaggregate the political nature of water allocations. This is analysed using Mehta’s (2014) framework on orders of scarcity to disaggregate narratives of water scarcity in two ethnographic case studies in the Wami- Ruvu River Basin in Tanzania: one of a mountain river that provides water to urban Morogoro, and another of a large donor-supported irrigation scheme on the Wami River. These case studies allow us to explore different interfaces in the food-water-energy nexus. The article makes two points: that disaggregating water scarcity is essential for analysing the nexus; and that current institutional frameworks (such as IWRM) mask the political nature of the nexus, and therefore do not provide an adequate platform for adjudicating the interfaces of competing water use.
