Abstract Water is an indispensable natural resource that is often prodigiously threatened by anthropomorphic activities. This study evaluated the physicochemical properties of water and selected heavy metals in edible muscles of a piscivorous fish (Protopterus annectens) from Nyabarongo and Nyabugogo rivers of Rwanda. Edibility health risk was evaluated using the target hazard quotient method. Water samples were taken in triplicate from Ruliba station and Kirinda bridge on Nyabarongo river and Giticyinyoni on Nyabugogo river. Fish samples were obtained from the sampling stations on Nyabarongo river. All samples were analyzed following standard methods and analytical results indicated that the average temperature, pH, total dissolved solids and electrolytic conductivity of water from the rivers were within WHO acceptable limits.

  • Gender and the Genocide in Rwanda
    Gender and the Genocide in Rwanda This book examines the mobilization, role, and trajectory of women rescuers and perpetrators during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. While much has been written about the victimization of women during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, very little has been said about women who rescued targeted victims or perpetrated crimes against humanity. This book explores and analyzes the role played by women who exercised agency as rescuers and as per- petrators during the genocide in Rwanda. As women, they took actions and deci- sions within the context of a deeply entrenched patriarchal system that limited their choices. This work examines two diverging paths of women’s agency during this period: to rescue from genocide or to perpetrate genocide. It seeks to answer three questions: First, how were certain Rwandan women mobilized to parti- cipate in genocide, and by whom? Second, what were the specific actions of women during this period of violence and upheaval? Finally, what were the tra- jectories of women rescuers and perpetrators after the genocide? Comparing and contrasting how women rescuers and perpetrators were mobilized, the actions they undertook, and their post- genocide trajectories, and concluding with a broader discussion of the long- term impact of ignoring these women, this book develops a more nuanced and holistic view of women’s agency and the genocide in Rwanda. This book will be of interest to students of gender studies, genocide studies, African politics and critical security studies. Sara E. Brown is a Fellow at the USC Shoah Foundation – The Institute for Visual History and Education, and has a PhD in Comparative Genocide Studies from Clark University, USA.

  • 207 6 Rwamagana District Lake Master Plans
    6 Rwamagana District Lake Master Plans 6.1.1 Existing Conditions/Opportunities and Constraints Rwamagana District is blessed with abundant water resources at its northern and southern borders. Together, these have the potential to give Rwamagana the opportunity to adopt a major economic development strategy to become a local, regional, and international resort destination. (See Appendix 3: Lake Muhazi Economic Feasibility Study for more detailed analysis.) The objectives behind this development strategy are to not only provide tourist opportunities for visitors to the District, but to promote local economic development and prosperity for the citizens. Additional objectives are to promote environmentally sustainable touristic development that protects, preserves and regenerates the Rwamagana landscape. The Rwamagana resorts are envisioned to provide a variety of recreational opportunities for a variety of users including local residents, Kigali residents, regional visitors, and international tourists. In addition, it is the goal of this plan to provide a variety of vacation, nature and recreational experiences including: • Hotels/Inns • Boating • Water Sports • Golf and Tennis • Restaurants and Retail • Conference Venues • Vacation Homes • Ecotourism • Fishing • Bird watching • Bicycling • Vacation Homes At Lake Muhazi, which has the ecology and topography suited for more “active” resort scenarios, there are three different prototypes envisioned, including a lakefront marina/waterfront resort, a hill top golf resort, and a marina/cove resort. At Lake Mugesera, which has an extensive and very delicate ecosystem, we envision a more natural “ecotourism” type of resort development. This prototype is integrated into the natural landscape, affording visitors the opportunity to experience the beauty of the surroundings and to learn more about the Rwandan people and culture.
