02 · Water security
Every drop has more than one job.
Water infrastructure and practice designed for the whole cycle: capture, storage, distribution, use, reuse, and return.
Why this matters
Rainfall, groundwater, and demand vary across Tanzania by season and place. A system that works in one district can fail in the next if it ignores that variation.
Water rarely has a single use. The same source may serve a household, a farm, a workshop, and a guesthouse. Planning for shared use avoids conflict and waste.
What we do
Planned work is labelled as planned. We do not describe an intention as if it were already running.
- PlannedMap seasonal availability, existing infrastructure, and current use before proposing anything new.
- PlannedPrioritise harvesting, storage, and leak reduction alongside new supply.
- PlannedDesign safe reuse for irrigation and cleaning where testing and handling allow it.
How it connects
- Water depends on energy for pumping, lifting, and treatment.
- Water determines what agriculture can grow, and when.
- Water quality is affected by how waste and materials are handled nearby.
- Water use by visitor facilities competes with, or can support, local supply.
What we measure
These are the measures we intend to report, each with a period, a place, and a stated method. Numbers appear on the impact page only once they are verified.
- Storage and harvesting capacity installed, by site
- Distribution losses estimated before and after works
- Days of supply through the dry season
- Water quality test results, with method and laboratory
