Tanzania - River Basin Management and Smallholder Irrigation Project
Tanzania's ability to manage scarce
water resources became a national issue in the early to
mid-1990s. New opportunities in agriculture, and the greater
demand for water for irrigation and hydropower, together
with the long dry season and several years of
less-than-average rainfall, contributed to water scarcity
and conflicts, while the lack of information on water
quantity and quality, and an inadequate framework for
tackling cross-sectoral water issues severely constrained
sustainable water resource management. Tanzania has defined
nine river basins for water resources administration. The
project components included River Basin Management, and
Smallholder Irrigation Improvement and this paper examines
impact on the ground and lessons learned from the project.
