The Tanzanian economy is highly dependent on water resources. Nearly half of Tanzania’s GDP comes from the agriculture and livestock sectors (Salami et al., 2010), which are highly dependent on water resources. However, these water resources are currently vulnerable to climate change and variability. In recent years, the major hydro-plants in the country underperformed due to low river flows. The power shortages caused significant economic losses in many sectors such as industry, agriculture, and mining, to mention only a few (Mwakalila, 2007). Water is, therefore, a key resource that requires good management.
