The social and economic circumstances prevailing today have made particular demands upon the country’s water resource base and the environment, and its sustainability is threatened by human-induced activities. Over the past 20 years, these demands have intensified with the increase in population and concurrent growth of economic activities requiring more water. These demands include hydropower generation, irrigated agriculture, livestock keeping, domestic use, and wildlife use (URT, 2002). Water scarcity is experienced in many places and sectors in Tanzania due to unreliable rainfall, the multiplicity of competing uses, and the degradation of sources and catchments (URT, 2002; Munishi et al., 2008).

 

Supply and installation of two submersible pumps at Kibinda and Horohoro respectively in Tanga region are ways that our company, Equiplus is trying to help solve the problem of scarcity that our country is actually facing.
