Industrial and municipal effluent loadings into the Lake Victoria catchment, Kenya.

Implementation of the subcomponent on Management of Industrial and Municipal Effluents (MIME) under the LVEMP project was aimed at addressing various deficiencies, which contribute to the overall problem of deterioration of the Lake water quality. The main tasks were to identify and catalogue industries and municipalities that produce organic and inorganic pollutants including nutrients; to collect pertinent information relating to each industry such as industry location, process water requirements and inputs, outputs, by-products (effluents and solid wastes), and their environmental impacts and to sensitize stakeholders to take a lead role in promoting cleaner technology.
