posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by Lister R. KongolaThis paper first establishes the potential for groundwater in Central Tanzania based on climate and geology. It then identifies the water problems in these areas. A mention is made of other possible solutions to water problems mainly dams and shallow wells.
