Aquatic ecology monitoring: water quality, fish, fish catch, sanitation and disease vectors: monitoring no. 10 and reservoir baseline, 23rd – 30th April 2012
The results reported on were from a monitoring survey No. 10 undertaken between 23 rdand 29th April 2012 during construction period of the Bujagali Hydropower Project(BHPP). Two pre-construction, baseline surveys in April 2000 and April 2006 wereconducted and so far, during construction phase of the project, nine monitoring surveyshave been undertaken i.e. in September 2007, April 2008, April 2009, October 2009,April 2010, September 2010, April 2011, September 2011and the present one, in April2012. Since 2009 biannual monitoring surveys have been conducted at an upstream and adownstream transect of the BHPP with emphasis on the following aspects:water quality determinantsbiology and ecology of fishes and food websfish stock and fish catch including economic aspects of catch andsanitation/vector studies (bilharzias and river blindness)During this survey, baseline assessment of the above mentioned studies was conducted inthe reservoir behind the dam, including studies on algae, zooplankton and benthic macroinvertebrateswhich had been restrained since April 2008. The findings of baseline assessment of the reservoir are also contained in this report and are compared with thoseobtained from Transect 1(Upstream) and Transect 2 (Downstream).
