  • Pangani River Basin Management Project
    International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) (2007-07-10)
    There is currently not enough water to meet the demand in the Pangani Basin, yet the Pangani Basin Water Board continues to receive requests for new water permits from local, municipal and industrial investors. The Water Board has little data on the economic, social and environmental costs and benefits of various water allocation scenarios to guide its water permit provision. Climate change and reducing water supplies have yet to be taken into consideration in the allocation process.
