Tanzania joined the group of water-stressed countries in 2014 when the availability of renewable water resources per capita declined from over 3,000 m3 to 1,600 m3, and is expected to further decline to 1,400 m3 by 2025.
Mwanza is the second largest city in Tanzania (after Dar es Salaam) and the second most populous city on the shores of lake Victoria after Kampala. The cities of Mwanza, Bukoba and Musoma draw almost all of their water resources in Lake Victoria.
It is estimated that by 2031, they will have populations of 1,150,000, 255,000 and 340,000 respectively. Before this project, the facilities and functioning of the existing systems in these three cities were grossly inadequate to meet the needs of this growing population. Bukoba and Musoma had no collective sanitation system and the existing system in Mwanza was very limited.
