The Pangani Water
Basin in Kilimanjaro Region has started resetting boundaries around
Nyumba ya Mungu Dam to stop encroachment by nearby villagers.
A Water Officer with
the authority, Mtoi Kanyawani, said the move was a result of a
meeting held on May 23 this year by leaders of Kilimanjaro and
Manyara regions. The authority has put beacons in all villages
surrounding the dam as the previous ones have disappeared.
Implementation of
the projects was delayed by lack of funds, Kanyawani said. “We are
going to create awareness among the people on the importance of
observing boundaries.
This dam has the
tendency of widening and narrowing,” he said. A Hydrology Officer
with the Basin, Brown Mwangaka, said the water level at the dam has
this year decreased compared to last year.
