Analysis of the impact of groundwater contamination by pit latrines in Dar-es—salaam (Manzese squatter area) was carried out (chapter 5). Fluid and pollutant transport (chapter 2), microhial movement and survival in groundwater (chapter 3) as well as nutrient (nitrates) dynamics (chapter 4) were considered. Available data on the phenomenon were supplemented by the MFLOP model to obtain an insight into the nature of the problein.

Investigating the Intra-urban Inequality and Environmental injustices on Urban deprivation in Dar es salaam city - Tanzania Abstract Spatial indicators of inequality, rather than simply poverty, and environmental injustices are two essential tools for today’s urban policy makers and planners (UNHSP, 2004 pp. 86). Most research on urban deprivation in Sub-Saharan Africa has been based on monetary indicators (income and consumption).

  • Chapter 4. DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 4. DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA Document(s) 6 of 11 J.M. Lusugga Kironde INTRODUCTION Africa is currently undergoing rapid change. In most African countries, a major population- redistribution process is occurring as a result of rapid urbanization at a time when the economic performance of these countries is generally poor. Besieged by a plethora of problems, urban authorities are generally seen as incapable of dealing with the problems of rapid urbanization. One major area in which urban authorities appear to have failed to fulfil their duties is waste management. All African countries have laws requiring urban authorities to manage waste. Yet, in most urban areas, only a fraction of the waste generated daily is collected and safely disposed of by the authorities. Collection of solid waste is usually confined to the city centre and high-income neighbourhoods, and even there the service is usually irregular. Most parts of the city never benefit from public solid-waste disposal. Only a tiny fraction of urban households or firms are connected to a sewer network or to local septic tanks, and even for these households and firms, emptying or treatment services hardly exist. Industrial waste is usually disposed of, untreated, into the environment. Consequently, most urban residents and operators have to bury or burn their waste or dispose of it haphazardly. Common features of African urban areas are stinking heaps of uncollected waste; waste disposed of haphazardly by roadsides, in open spaces, or in valleys and drains; and waste water overflowing onto public lands. This situation was reflected in articles in East African newspapers in 1985 that referred to Dar es Salaam as a “garbage city” (Sunday News (Tanzania), 2 Nov 1985, p.
