Environmental research

The primary project objective is to consolidate and expand the lake irrigation projet with the view to demonstrating convicingly the feasibility of using renewable energy technologies for increased food production through irrigation farming for hunger-prone lake Victoria adjacent villages, whose dependence on rainfed agriculture contribute to low food crop harvests. The monies will be used to finalice outstanding works that could not be finished due to changes in the price level and procurement and delivery problems. The project when finished will also provide domestic water supply lines to the community so that the project caters for both irrigation farming and domestic water supply. The project also intends to reduce pollution of Lake Victoria Water which is an international water body by establishing water drawing points and cattle drinking trough away from the lake. This way, lake waters will be protected from human and cattle polluting practices.
