Hippo grazing in the dry riverbed at RNP ...................................................... 30 iv Acknowledgements The Great Ruaha River, the lifeline for the power, agriculture, and livestock keeping and fishing for a large population in the Rufiji Basin has dried several times within the last fifteen years. This dryness has had implications on the livelihood of the people, the economy and significant biodiversity in the Ruaha Catchment Area (RCA). Realizing the need to address this problem from comprehensive and holistic approach, the World Wide Fund for Nature, Tanzania Programme Office initiated a study to identify the Socio Economic Root Causes driving the loss of biodiversity in this area. The Root Cause Analysis is based on the assumption that the conservation of biological diversity needed to be premised on a clear understanding of the factors (driving forces and proximate causes) and dynamics that drive the loss of biodiversity. This approach has now become useful in providing further insight in what may be regarded as forces that lead to the loss of biodiversity by linking processes (policies, programmes, institutional and regulations) at the local, national and international levels. This study was about the understanding of the Socio-Economic Root Causes defining the loss of biodiversity in the Ruaha Catchment Area. In conducting this study too many individuals and institutions were involved. The authors wish to thank first and foremost WWF-TPO for funding and facilitating this study; in particular, the authors thank Dr. Herman Mwageni, the TPO – Representative for showing great interest and

DSM, Tz. 1 - 142 pp. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction The Eastern Arc Mountain forests in Mufindi District lie at the south-western extreme of the Eastern Arc. The forests are found on the Mufindi plateau at the top of the Mufindi escarpment. The plateau includes a mosaic of forest, commercial tea cultivation, pine and eucalyptus plantation, coffee and subsistence agriculture. The forests of Mufindi are highly fragmented and many of them show high levels of disturbance some of which dates back over 50 years. Lovett & Pócs (1993) suggest that parts of the larger Mufindi forests such as Kigogo were cultivated in the mid 19th Century and cite the presence of agricultural ridges under the forest.

  • 24 August 2005 Conflict of Water Use Between Hydropower and Irrigation
    24 August 2005 Conflict of water use between hydropower and irrigation in Tanzania: the conundrum of sectoral policy approaches to water resources development Makarius V. Mdemu1 and Machibya D. Magayane2 1Center for Development Research (ZEFc), Water Flex Str. 3, 53113, Bonn, Germany. Tel: +49 (0) 228-736124, Emails: Mak_mdemu@yahoo.co.uk or mmdemu@uni-bonn.de 2ITECO Consult (T) Limited, P.O.BOX 67371 or 23152, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Emails: m.machibya@itecoconsult.com or mmagayane@hotmail.com Abstract More than 80% of the Tanzania’s population is employed by agriculture, largely more than 95% being on smallholder scales. Currently out of 1 million ha of irrigable land, only 25% of the area is under irrigation, fully or supplemental. On the other hand about 69% of the electrical energy in the national grid is hydropower. Two large power sytems, Mtera-Kidatu in Rufiji basin and Nyumba ya Mungu-Hale-New Pangani Falls (NYM-H-NPF) in Pangani basin are located downstream the irrigation schemes. In the past 14 years there have been uprising conflicts over water between irrigation in upstream and hydropower in the downstream with heavy accusation for over-abstraction of water by smallholders to meet irrigation expansion. Contemporarily, Tanzania views irrigated agriculture as one of the most important strategies for attaining food security and poverty reduction as elaborated in country’s poverty reduction strategy paper (PRSP). Indeed the challenge is attaining such a poverty reduction strategy in a non harmonized sectoral water related development that eventually feed into the PRSP. This paper critically discusses the problems of water use as a result of policy oriented sectoral development approaches with reference to hydropower and agriculture sectors in the Rufiji and Pangani basins in Tanzania.

    The United Republic of Tanzania IRINGA REGION SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE, 2013 October, 2013 The United Republic of Tanzania IRINGA REGION SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE, 2013 Jointly prepared Ministry of Finance, National Bureau of Statistics and Iringa Regional Secretariat National Bureau of Statistics Dar es Salaam October, 2013 Iringa Region Socio-Economic Profile, 2013 Foreword The goals of Tanzania‟s Development Vision 2025 are in line with United Nation‟s Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and are pursued through the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) or MKUKUTA II. The major goals are to achieve a high-quality livelihood for the people, attain good governance through the rule of law and develop a strong and competitive economy. To monitor the progress in achieving these goals, there is need for timely, accurate data and information at all levels. Problems especially in rural areas are many and demanding. Social and economic Tservices require sustainable improvement. The high primary school enrolment rates recently attained have to be maintained and so is the policy of making sure that all pupils who pass standard seven examinations join Form One. The food situation is still precarious; infant and maternal mortality rates continue are high and unemployment triggers mass migration of youths from rural areas to the already overcrowded urban centres. Added to the above problems, is the menace posed by HIV/AIDS, the prevalence of which hinders efforts to advance into the 21st century of science and technology. The pandemic has been quite severe among the economically active population leaving in its wake an increasing number of orphans, broken families and much suffering.

O. Box 2077, Dodoma, Tanzania. bUniversity of Dar es salaam, P. O. Box 35091, Dar es salaam, Tanzania. Received: 15 April 2020; Accepted: 03 May 2020; Published: 08 Junel 2020 Abstract This study presents the modelling of impacts of climate change on water resources. Mtera dam in Tanzania was taken as a case study. Data for climate variables on four stations were obtained from Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA) while data for water level were obtained from Rufiji Basin Development Authority (RUBADA). The study aimed at doing regression analysis on all stations to analyze the impacts of change in climate variables on water level. Results show that rainfall was significant predictor of water level at Iringa and Dodoma while temperature and sunshine were significant at Mbeya station. Change in climate variables accounted for 37% of the fluctuations of water level in the dam. It was recommended that TANESCO should construct small dams on upper side of Mtera dam to harvest rain water during rainy season. In long run TANESCO should invest into alternative sources of energy.
