Impacts of irrigation and hydroelectric power developments on the Victoria Nile in Uganda
No full textThis research aimed at increasing the understanding of the water resources of
the Victoria Nile basin and assessing the impact of irrigation and hydropower
developments on the Victoria Nile under different rainfall regimes. A Bayesian
Network constructed with the HUGIN expert researcher software version 6.9 was
used as the decision tool. The Network used a mixture of data, information from
previous studies and consultation with experts/stakeholders. A network consisting
of 21 nodes was developed and run to determine the impacts of different
development scenarios.
The Victoria Nile basin in Uganda is the first recipient of the river Nile flow as it
leaves Lake Victoria. In this basin, there is potential for 5 large hydroelectric
power plants and the basin consists of 70% of the irrigation potential in Uganda
and yet it is one of the most lacking in hydrological data in the Nile basin. Further
downstream of this basin are two riparian states, Egypt and Sudan which
according to the prevailing legislation on the use of the Nile share amongst
themselves the entire river flow.
The research shows that Irrigation and hydropower developments have modest
effects on lake levels and river flows exiting the basin. Rainfall occurrence on the
other hand has the largest effect on the lake levels and Victoria Nile river flow
exiting the basin. It is shown that in situations of very high water demand, which
occurs when annual rainfall is less than 1,200 mm, full irrigation potential is
utilized and all 5 hydroelectric power plants are developed, irrigation water need
is not more than 7% of the Nile flow from the basin. The effects of hydropower
plants are manifested mainly in the socioeconomic impacts in their vicinity, which
are found to be large and to increase with the number of plants developed. The
current mode of operation of outflows from Lake Victoria which is based on an
international agreement between Uganda and Egypt is a satisfactory means of
control only during moderate rainfall events and lake levels. However, for
extreme conditions of lake levels outside the range of 10.8-11.6 m it is
inadequate under increasing demands of hydroelectric power generation

The recovered life of Isaac Anderson
No full text"Owned by his father, Isaac Harold Anderson (1835-1906) was born enslaved but went on to become a wealthy businessman, grocer, politician, publisher, and religious leader in the African American community in the state of Georgia. Elected to the state senate, Anderson replaced his white father there, and later shepherded his people as a founding member and leader of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church. He helped support the establishment of Lane College in Jackson, Tennessee, and helped freed people leave Georgia for safe havens in northern Mississippi and Arkansas. Eventually under threat to his life, Anderson fled to Arkansas, and then later still, to Holly Springs, Mississippi. Much of Anderson's unique story has been lost to history-until now. In The Recovered Life of Isaac Anderson, author Alicia K. Jackson presents a biography of Anderson and in it a microhistory of Black religious life and politics after emancipation. A work of recovery, the volume captures the life of a shepherd to his journeying people, and of a college pioneer, a CME minister, a politician, and a freed person"-
