Box 2000, Dar es Salaam TANZANIA PREFACE It is a pleasure to be asked to preface this annotated bibliography on energy in Tanzania. I trust that it will be a useful aid for rese~r~hers, development workers, policymakers and all those who are concerned ~with the growth and prosperity of Tanzania. A bibliography such as this can be as revealing as the documents it lists. From the descriptions of the papers, one can see that the problems of woodfuel use, energy inputs to agriculture and the appropriate development of our renewable energy resources are dominant themes in the literature. On the other hand there appears to be very little concerning such important issues as urban and industrial energy uses, energy in transportation and policies. This bibliography can itself help to set the agenda for further research. Perusing the citations, I am also struck by the number of Tanzanian authors and scholars listed. Those who are impatient with Africa's development should keep in mind that the authors of these learned papers are the first educated generation in this country. Many of the other papers were written by development experts who lived and worked with us for many years. We are grateful to all of these individuals who have contributed to our better understanding of our resources and potential. Professors Mwandosya and Luhanga are to be complimented for their efforts in preparing this bibliography. I hope that they will be able to find the time and resources to continue updating it in the future, and that our researchers will be moved by their work to fill the many gaps in our knowledge. Al Noor Kassum Minister for Energy and Minerals Dar es Salaam 26 September, 1987 TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE Introduction 1 Part I 3 Annotated Alphabetical Entries Part II 72 Subject Classification INTRODUCTION Knowledge of what subjects have been researched and/or written about in a particular country is as important to researchers as it is to the target audience of the information or research findings. Absence of this knowledge results in a waste of resources in that duplication of work done by others may occur or researchers may fail to take advantage of the lead created by earlier work on a subject. In 1980, through a research grant from the University of Dar es Salaam Research and Publications Committee, the authors of this compendium initiated work on the analysis of the energy resources, potential and end­ uses in Mbeya Region, an administrative province of mainland Tanzania. The results obtained were encouraging and it was decided to expand the work to cover the whole of Tanzania. For the rest of the country, it was decided to rely on various studies that had already been done by the Government, various institutions, and individuals from within and outside the country. Through library research we were encouraged to discover a number of sources on energy in Tanzania that were largely unknown to energy analysts, some stretching as far back as the early part of this century. We also stumbled into 'grey' literature through interviews with energy related organisations and individuals. It has not been an easy task. We have therefore decided that it would assist present and future reseachers if we were to compile a compendium of some of the work that has been done on energy in the country, in particular that which cannot be classified as confidential in nature and could be available in the public domain. It is against this background that we have compiled a compendium of energy sources which either address the issue of energy in Tanzania or have been authored by Tanzanians on energy as a subject. The annotated entries are in alphabetical order according to the surname of the principal author. The same entries are also reclassified according to subject area. These latter entries are unannotated. The alphanumeric codes used in subject classification are borrowed from IDRC and are include at the end of the alphabetical classification/beginning of the subject classification. More and more literature is being generated as interest in the subject is growing. It has therefore been decided that this edition will contain 1 sources from early days up to 1985. Entries for 1986 ownwards will be included in revised editions later on. This bibliography cannot by any means be ·considered exhaustive. It is hoped, however, that it will provoke a response to the authors of this bibliography from those authors whose entries do not appear or from those individuals who have knowledge about what more could be added. 2 P A R T I A N N 0 T A T E D A L P H A B E T I C A L E N T R I E S 3 AMANN, H., Energy Supply and Economic Development in East Africa. Afrika-Studien Series, African Studies Centre of IFO Institute for Economic Research, Weltforum Verlag, Munich, Germany, 1969. The energy situation of East Africa (Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania) is evaluated. An assessment is made of the energy sector's role in the East African economic development. The electricity supply industry is treated to some detail to include features of generation, transmission, distribution and demand development. Price structure and price level of electricity are investigated. Rural electrification as an agent for the removal of dualism is also evaluated. Future exploitation of other energy sources such as geothermal and atomic energy is also touched upon. ANTAPA, P.

Paper presented at The Twelfth Commonwealth Forestry Conference, September, 1985. This paper attempts to demonstrate how important forests and trees are in the daily life of people in developing countries. Fuelwood, food, income and environmental protection are just a few of the benefits. The role of social forestry is highlighed. Forestry is just 'one of the spokes in a wheel'. It is therefore argued that an understanding of other subsystems in development is essential and this entails a multidisplinary and integrated approach to forestry. It is also argued that for forestry to succeed, readiness of governments to take important policy decisions is essential. A case in point is fundamental changes in land tenure such as turning land ownership and control to local groups and people.

    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: [email protected] or [email protected] 2ITECO Consult (T) Limited, P.O.BOX 67371 or 23152, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Emails: [email protected] or [email protected] 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.

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.

Sallema (2) (1) Institute of Development Studies, Mzumbe University, Tanzania (2) Museum and House of Culture, National Museum of Tanzania, Tanzania Youth refers to the young active human resources which in 2012 constituted about 34.7% of the total population of Tanzania. However, there is a paucity of information on the role of youth in the management of water resources in the majority of the rural areas. This paper draws on the ex- perience of the conceptual framework for water governance at the local level. The study examines the role of youth in water source management as it draws on strategies for water management in Kihanga and Migoli Villages located adjacent the Great Ruaha River of Iringa District. The Great Ruaha River covers 47% of the largest Rufiji Basin in Tanzania. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 161 youths within the surveyed households. In-depth interviews with 5 key informants and focus group(s) of 50 participants were used to supplement data that could not be obtained through surveys. The results show that 59.6% of respondents were not involved in the Water Com- mittee activities. Patrolling the sources and fetching water at night are among the major strategies used in the management of water sources and supply at least in the short term. These findings together with methods used could be replicated in other areas as they provide opportunities for the study of water governance at the local level.
