As part of its commitment to expanding water accessibility through scientific research and state-of-the-art technology, the government has given Basin Water Directors modern groundwater exploration equipment valued at over 5 billion.
Water Minister Mr. Juma Aweso formally turned over the equipment yesterday in Dodoma. It was acquired as part of the World Bank-funded Covid-19 rehabilitation program.
Lake Tanganyika, Lake Victoria, Wami-Ruvu, Rukwa, Ruvuma, Rufiji, and the Central Basin are the eight main water basins in the nation where the tools will be dispersed.
Mr. Aweso highlighted that with the newly acquired technology, the Water Ministry now has no excuse for failing to discover water sources, encouraging basin specialists to guarantee the instruments are adequately employed.
“This equipment is not intended to be kept in cabinets or crates until high-ranking officials visit before being put on display. You are knowledgeable, and I have faith in your talents. You’ve previously shown that you can succeed in challenging situations. Let’s concentrate right now and make sure that every last town has access to potable water,” he stated.
A terrameter for detecting water, a deeper gadget for measuring water depth, a tool for tracking underground water movement, a GPS device for recording geographical coordinates, and a magnetometer for detecting fractures within rock formations are among the equipment types purchased.
