| Abstract: | In this paper, the situation is described for the use of freshwater resources on the east coast of Zanzibar, Tanzania. This region is water poor, relying on freshwater derived from seasonal rains and stored in less efficient aquifers, which consist of freshwater lenses floating on the underlying seawater. The results show that present levels of withdrawal are not sustainable, the parts of the local populations are already experiencing water deficits on a daily basis. |
