Ngana); Analysis of low flows of streams upstream of Nyumba ya Mungu Reservoir (S. Mkhandi, F. Mtalo); Water discharge variability on the foot slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro: the case of Kikuletwa River, Nsere and Shiri Springs, Kilimanjaro Region (P. Z. Yanda, S. Mpanda); Geological evidence for the formation of springs on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro and Meru, Northern Tanzania (S. Mpanda, P. Z. Yanda); Establishing gauging stations in the hillsides of Mt. Kilimanjaro (P. Christern); Hydrologic modelling in the Upper Pangani River Basin: some examples from the past and description of a new approach (P. C. Rohr, A. Killingtveit); Shortage of water for irrigation and farmers response (D. Mwamfupe); Impact of irrigation on soil fertility and salinity in the Basin (S. Misana, J. Makoi); Forestry conservation and resource utilisation on southern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro: trends, conflicts and resolutions (P. Yanda, E.K. Shishira); Application of environmental economics in resolving conflicts on natural resources utilization (F.C. Shechambo); Water use conflicts in the Pangani Basin (M.R.
