The status of the fish stocks and environment of Kabaka's Lake
Kabaka's lake (c. 0.7 km2) is a reservoir in Kampala's low lying Ndeeba zone which was created from a wetland landscape during the reign of the Buganda King Mwanga (1884 -1899). Oral accounts suggest that the original aim of constructing the lake was to improve navigation from the King's palace to the nearby Lake Victoria. This objective was never fulfilled due to subsequent political and socio-economic travels in Uganda: Even at present, the commercial and residential interest in the land associated with the present heavy settlements and modified landscape, makes it unlikely that the original objective of the Kabakas will be achieved. However, the reservoir has since remained in the King's estate and is still known as Kabaka's lake
