prediction in the follow up research. This can be achieved if more data such as sediment
Particle Size Distribution (PSD), bulky density, dam trap efficiency, catchment
environmental variables ( i.e ., land cover/use, slope, slope length, runoff, rainfall, etc),
and operational data and geographic locations of the small dams could be
supplemented.
5. Acknowledgment
I acknowledge the cordial cooperation rendered to me by staff of the then Ministry of Water
and Irrigation for availing previous reports on the subject matter. I'm also indebted to Mr.
Kipagile, D., an undergraduate student of University of Dar es Salaam, for collecting and
providing some data. FRIEND/Nile project funded by UNESCO Cairo Office is also
acknowledged for co-sponsoring the write-up of this chapter.
