Tanzania: Hydro-Economic Overview – An Initial Analysis

This study includes a national overview of the magnitude and urgency of the country’s water challenges, and a review of two river basins: the Wami Ruvu (includes Dar es Salaam, the largest urban center in Tanzania) and the Rufiji river basin (the focus area of the government’s Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania investment program).
