  • Overview of Experiences in the Limpopo River Basin
    intersectorai Management of River Basins Overview of Experiences in the Limpopo River Basin Thomas Schild Team Leader, German Agency for Technical Co-operation (GTZ), Windhoek, Namibia Abstract The paper presents a summary of the findings of a German mission to four countries of Southern Africa, in which many people at different levels were asked to give their views about water issues in two trans-national river basins, the Limpopo and the Orange-Senqu. The principal common factors in people's responses are identified. Various sources and types of inequity are described. In conclusion, it is found that external assistance could be especially useful in areas of information and communication, and in organisational development for river-basin management. 1. Context A mission by a project appraisal team of the German Agency for Technical Co­ operation (GTZ) was carried out in September 2000, for the support of regional water management in the SADC (Southern African Development Community) region. The team talked to stakeholders of the Limpopo and the Orange-Senqu river basins. The mission had the following major tasks; Map the scene; Capture the expectations and issues of concern of the stakeholders with regard to the establishment of river basin commissions; Identify possible areas for technical co-operation; Make preparations for the planning workshop. 2. Procedures Between 14 and 29 September 2000, the group visited Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana and South Africa and held discussions with relevant government institutions, parastatals and donor organisations involved in water resources management of the Limpopo and, where applicable, of the Orange/Senqu. Other resource persons, such as representatives of water users' organisations, researchers, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and consultants were met.

  • Irrigation of Wetlands in Tanzania
    Irrigation of wetlands in Tanzania Item Type Working Paper Authors Masija, E.H. Download date 06/10/2021 16:30:22 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/1834/528 Irrigation of wetlands in Tanzania E.H. 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.

Box Cy617 Causeway, Harare, Zimbabwe 2Department of Civil Engineering, University of Zimbabwe, P.O. Box MP167, Mt Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe 3WaterNet Secretariat, P.O. Box MP600, Mount Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe Correspondence: Colleta Tundu ([email protected]) Received: 7 June 2017 – Accepted: 10 October 2017 – Published: 16 April 2018 Abstract. Sediment delivery into water sources and bodies results in the reduction of water quantity and quality, increasing costs of water purification whilst reducing the available water for various other uses. The paper gives an analysis of sedimentation in one of Zimbabwe’s seven rivers, the Mazowe Catchment, and its impact on water quality. The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model was used to compute soil lost from the catchment as a result of soil erosion. The model was used in conjunction with GIS remotely sensed data and limited ground observations. The estimated annual soil loss in the catchment indicates soil loss ranging from 0 to 65 t ha yr−1. Bathymetric survey at Chimhanda Dam showed that the capacity of the dam had reduced by 39 % as a result of sedimentation and the annual sediment deposition into Chimhanda Dam was estimated to be 330 t with a specific yield of 226 t km−2 yr−1.

Tis is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Tanzania is among the countries with the fastest growing economy in Africa and therefore the need for afordable, clean, and most importantly sustainable electrical energy to meet her ever growing demands is pressing. In recent years, the country’s electricity needs have been largely dominated by thermal generations despite the fact that Tanzania is gifed with huge hydropower resource potential approximated at 38,000 MW with only a very small portion exploited to date. However, the exploited potential is expected to grow by commissioning of identifed large and medium-scale hydropower projects with a total installed capacity of 4,765 MW currently under various stages of implementation. Moreover, the geographical location of Tanzania has several benefts to support development of small hydropower projects essential for appropriate utilization of available water resources as a way of mitigating climate challenges efects. Over the last decade, the country electricity demand along with end-use of energy has witnessed signifcant increases as economic development spreads towards achieving Vision 2025 goals.

    INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The Niassa Carnivore Project (NCP) was founded in 2003 and serves to conserve large carnivores and their prey in Niassa Special Reserve (NSR, formally known as Niassa National Reserve, NNR) by promoting coexistence and through a shared respect for people, their culture, wildlife, and the environment. Our team values are respect (for each other and the environment); “Tsova-Tsova” (a Cyao term for meaning you push, I push), communication, inclusion, teamwork, and opportunities to learn. Why we should care Niassa Special Reserve is situated in northern Mozambique on the border with Tanzania and is one of the largest protected areas (42,200 km2; 16,000 ml2) in Africa. It is managed through a co- management agreement between the Government of Mozambique (National Administration of Conservation Areas (ANAC) with Ministry of Land, Environment and Rural development (MITADER) and Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). The protected area supports the largest concentrations of wildlife remaining in Mozambique including an estimated 800 - 1000 lions, 300-350 African wild dogs as well as leopard and spotted hyaena. Free-ranging African lions have declined over the last century to fewer than 20,000 today (Riggio et al., 2012; Bauer et al., 2015; Dickman et al, in prep). Well managed protected areas, particularly large protected areas like NSR that can support more than 1000 lions, are critically important for future recovery efforts for lion conservation (Lindsey et al., 2017). These types of landscapes are becoming increasingly rare. NSR remains one of the 6 strongholds for lions, spotted hyaenas, leopards and African wild dogs left in Africa today.

    SOUTHERN AFRICA Flash Update No.11 – Tropical Cyclone Eloise As of 28 January 2021 HIGHLIGHTS • More than 270,000 people have been affected by Eloise across Southern Africa, including 267,289 in Mozambique, more than 1,000 in Zimbabwe and more than 1,000 in Eswatini. • The death toll from Eloise has risen to 21, including 11 in Mozambique, 3 in Zimbabwe, 4 in Eswatini, 2 in South Africa and 1 in Madagascar. • With flood waters present in multiple locations, the risk of water-borne diseases, including cholera, is high. • Tens of thousands of hectares of crops have been flooded due to the Eloise weather system, which could have consequences for the next harvest and food security in the period ahead. SITUATION OVERVIEW The Eloise weather system has left at least 21 people dead -11 in Mozambique, 3 in Zimbabwe, 4 in Eswatini, 2 in South Africa and 1 in Madagascar- and affected more than 270,000 people across Southern Africa, according to preliminary information which continues to be updated as new data becomes available. Although the damage wrought by Eloise to date has been less widespread than Tropical Cyclone Idai in 2019, homes, crops and infrastructure in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Eswatini and South Africa have been damaged or destroyed.
