Sources of Data: The Wami/Ruvu Basin Water Office (Morogoro), Ministry of Water, Tanzania, provided data on rainfall, river discharge, water level, geology, hydrogeology, administration, infrastruc- ture and population demographics. Data was obtained from the Wami/Ruvu Basin Water Resources Management and Development Study carried out by JICA and made available through the Wami/Ruvu Basin Water Office. ClimateWizard has provided map layers for climate predictions (temperature, precipitation and evapotranspiration) run for the Wami/Ruvu basin based upon a basin boundary shapefile uploaded to the web interface (http://www.climatewizard.org) 1 km resolution Evapotranspiration raster datasets for the region were obtained from the NASA MODIS Global Evapotranspiration Project run by the Numerical Terradynamics Simulation Group at the University of Montana. (http://www.ntsg.umt.edu/project/mod16#data-product). Digital Elevation Model (30m resolution, ASTER DEM) was obtained from NASA and Japan Space Research Organization. Landsat images of the Wami/Ruvu basin region from 1984-2012 were obtained from Time and Google Earth via the online interface (http://world.time.com/timelapse/). Forest cover change (2000-2012) images based on Landsat image analysis were obtained from Google Earth Engine and Hansen et al. 2013 via the web interface (http://www. earthenginepartners.appspot.com/science-2013-global-forest).

In my business, for example, statistics help me know where I can get raw materials, get to know the number of my customers and help me prepare products accordingly. Indeed, the numbers show the trend of my business which allows me to predict the future. My customers are both locals and foreigners who yearly visit the region. In June every year, I gather information from various institutions which receive foreign visitors here in Dodoma. With estimated number of visitors in hand, it gives me ample time to prepare products for my clients’ satisfaction. In terms of my daily life, Statistics help me in understanding my daily household needs hence make proper expenditures.” Mr. Kulwa James Zimba, Artist, Sixth street Dodoma.”.

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.

    Bagamoyo Town the Conference Will Be Held at the Stella Maris Hotel in Bagamoyo

    Bagamoyo Town The conference will be held at the Stella Maris Hotel in Bagamoyo. Located north of Dar es Salaam (65 km) along the coast, Bagamoyo historically started as a coastal Swahili fishing village that grew to become pivotal during the Arab settlements on the coast of Tanzania in the 13th century and later the first German colonial capital during the European colonial settlement in East Africa in 1888 to 1891. Bagamoyo was a gateway during the Ivory and Slave trade where many unfortunate Africans from as far as Congo and Malawi were kept imprisoned before they were shipped to Zanzibar to be sold. As a trading town during the East African Slave Trade, Bagamoyo also known as “Bwaga-Moyo” literally translated as “Lay down your heart” or “Give up your Hope”, Bagamoyo attracted traders, missionaries, and colonial powers from the Persian Gulf (Shiraz), Mongoles, Asia, and Europe. “…Be happy, my soul, release all cares, for we soon reach the place you yearn for The town of palms, Bagamoyo! When you were far away, how my heart ached when I thought of you, you pearl You place of happiness, Bagamoyo! The women wear their hair parted; you can drink palm wine all year through In the gardens of love of Bagamoyo! The dhows arrive with streaming sails to take aboard the treasures of Europe In the harbor of Bagamoyo! Oh, such delight to hear the drums and the lovely girls swaying in dance All night through in Bagamoyo! Be quiet, my heart, all cares are gone. Let the drumbeats rejoice: We are reaching Bagamoyo!” Traditional Swahili porters’ song Today, this Swahili town with a population of about 35,000 inhabitants is a multicultural town and a capital for Bagamoyo District in Pwani Region.

    International Journal of Caring Sciences 2013 May - August Vol 6 Issue 2 236 . O R I G I N A L P A P E R .r . Maternal Mortality in Rural Areas of Dodoma Region, Tanzania: a Qualitative Study Madan Mohan Laddunuri, PhD Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Dodoma University, Dodoma, Tanzania Coresponcence: Dr Madan Mohan Laddunuri, Post Box 259 Dodoma university, Dodoma, Tanzania. E-mail [email protected] Abstract Background: A major public health concern in Tanzania is the high rate of maternal deaths as the estimated Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) is 454 per 100,000 live births (TDHS, 2010). The main objective of the present study was to find out the contributing factors to maternal mortality in rural areas of Dodoma region of Tanzania. Methodology: The verbal autopsy technique was used to reconstruct “the road to maternal death.” A structured open-ended questionnaire was developed on the basis of the “three delays” model: delay in the decision to seek care, delay in arrival at a health facility and delay in the provision of adequate care. The sample comprised of 20 cases, 4 for each district of Dodoma. Data were collected by conducting in-depth interviews with close relatives of the deceased women and those who accompanied the women (neighbours) during the time the illness developed to death. Results: There was delay in receiving appropriate medical care and that eventually lead to the death of the pregnant woman, due to underestimation of the severity of the complication, bad experience with the health care system, delay in reaching an appropriate medical facility, lack of transportation, or delay in receiving appropriate care after reaching to the hospital.
