dc.description.abstractThe paper provides a glimpse at the status of retreating glaciers on Mount Kilimanjaro and the submergence of Maziwe Island in the Indian Ocean, illustrating dramatic climate change impacts and variability. Extreme weather events in Tanzania include both drought and flooding. Real uncertainties exist concerning present and future decreases in runoff for irrigation, changed land use, and urbanization. At the same time, flooding of Rufiji and Pangani Rivers will cause damage to major hydropower stations and human settlements.en
