On THE OCCASION OF THE inauguration of the Hydrometeorological Survey of the Catchments of LakesVictoria, Kyoga and Albert Project undertaken by the Governments of Kenya, Tanzania, Sudan, the United Arab Republic and Uganda, I convey my best wishes for the successful implementation and completion of this worthy Project. Water is a basic requirement, not only to the life of man, but also for his crops and his herds ofanimals. It is a cheap source of power for both industrial and domestic use and water transport is the cheapest means of transportation. Water is one of the most essential requisites for the existence of man on this earth.
