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.

This study aimed at assessing the determinants of poverty in Mkinga district in rural Tanzania. Ordinal regression model was used to model events of observing scores of livelihood status in the area of study. The study revealed that nearly 93% of respondents in the area were poor. Gender, size of land the household owns, the size of farm used in farming, Household size and the dependency ratio were found to be related to poverty, hence influencing poverty in the area of study. While the government is responsible in providing proper infrastructural settings, this paper recommends that, people especially women in this area should be empowered to have positive attitudes towards participating into economic activities using resources around them.

  • Colonial Exploration and East African Resistance Oscar Baumann’S First Expedition Into Usambara, 1888 1
    Colonial Exploration and East African Resistance Oscar Baumann’s first expedition into Usambara, 1888 1 Erschienen in: Analele Universitatii Bucuresti - Istorie XLVIII (1999) 97-110 In Tanzanian late 19 th century history, the rebellion of the people of the “Mrima”, the Swahili- speaking coastal region 2, against German political penetration in 1888-1890 has always been given particular prominence by African as well as European historians alike. 3 In this discourse, the name of the Viennese traveller, researcher and diplomat Oscar Baumann is frequently mentioned. Not only did his travel accounts enjoy good reputation amongst contemporary European observers on both academic as well as non-academic levels. Even until today, Baumann‘s findings are frequently used by historians and anthropologists as primary sources of detail and importance. His ethnographic collections, still largely unresearched, form an important part of the Viennese Museum of Ethnology‘s heritage. 4 Mistakenly, however, most of english-speaking research gives Baumann‘s national origin as German; although he did work for German colonial agencies for some time, he was definitely Austrian. 1. Biographical notes Oscar Baumann was actually born in Vienna on June 25, 1864. 5 Although distantly related to the well-known Viennese business dynasties von Arnstein and von Neuwall (both of Jewish origin 6), living circumstances of the family - father Heinrich holding a bank job on medium level - do not 1 This paper is an updated version of Barbara Köfler / Walter Sauer, Scheitern in Usambara.
