Rainfall-runoff relationships in the Ruvu Basin of Tanzania
(1982)
In Tanzania rivers are mainly utilized for
hydroelectric power supply, urban and rural water
supply and for irrigation. The basic data required
for assessing the potential of the rivers are long
records of rainfall and ...

is very much dependent on the intensity, distribution and
duration of the rains, which in dry regions are very variable
between years, seasons and even within a ...
