The SELVA Florida International University-based team returned to Miami, Florida this month after weeks in the field visiting the Mara River Basin with their Tanzanian counterparts. SELVA’s field trip focus was to collect information about water users and water security along the Lower Mara in Tanzania focused on several different scales and different types of users. With team-members from the Tanzanian Ministry of Water and the Lake Victoria Basin Water Offices SELVA met and spent time with District Government Officers, fishermen, Water User Associations, artisanal gold miners, farmers, women groups, and Serengeti Park Officials, among others.
In the coming weeks, SELVA will share some of the insights that they developed after speaking with people on the ground and traveling throughout different districts in the Tanzanian portion of the Mara River Basin.
Stay tuned!
