Water resources policy and administrative management

Over the years, particularly with the increase of population and human activities, the Lufyilo River Basin has experienced wide spread destruction of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem. Vegetation is cleared for agriculture and trees are cut down for firewood and building poles. The project aims at increasing awareness on conservation of forests and other vegetation that are of great biodiversity and catchment importance within the Lufilyo river basin. Lufyilo river empties its waters into Lake Nyasa, which is an international water body.
