Nasikitika na adhaa mnayopata, lakini project kama hii (comprehensive project), sio project mchwara ya masika na kiangazi tuu, ina cost pesa nyingi. Hapa tulipo umangani (Oman) wamefanya project babkubwa ya Muscat Wastewater Scheme, kama inavyoonyesha kwenye link yao. http://www.owsc.com.om/hayawater/projects.asp

Mkuu Bubu, duh hizo nilikuwa sijaziona manake si utani ni madudu kikwelikweli..... Ngoja wikendi nitajivinjari kule Kilwa road nikajifunze "Typical Tanzanian Construction" manake si siri hii ni zaidi ya aibu!!
Hebu angalia:
1. Mitaro inaonekana kama ni mass concrete bila hata reinforcement, jamani japo some isolated jointing?
2. Naona base na sub-base ya njia kuu ni natural gravel.... Hapo pananchanganya kidogo manake labda ni maji au picha lakini inaonekana material yote ni same quality from down up (redish natural gravel)
Ngoja nikaangalia bwana nami nataka kujifunza!!!

Mungu Ibariki Tanzania na waTanzania!!

Shule nyingi za msingi vijijini bado hazina majengo imara na salama kwa kusomea watoto kama hili la Shule ya Msingi Mlamleni iliyopo Wilayani Mkuranga mkoani Pwani. Jengo hilo la madarasa mawili lipo hatarini kuangakuka na shule inakabiliwa na uhaba wa madarasa. (Picha na Mroki Mroki).

Editorial Cartoon

It has been raining relatively heavily in most parts of Dar es Salaam since the small hours of Tuesday, and the city is simply overwhelmed.

Most roads, streets and service roads are under water, the fact that many were already potholed even before the rains rendering them near-impassable.

The result: roads, streets and service roads so congested that motorists take hours to move a few metres and run low on patience. It is as much hell for pedestrians, motorcyclists and open-air hawkers of soft drinks and miscellaneous other items.

But one could dare say there is a silver lining to the dark cloud, at least in that it is roaring business for taxi drivers and Bajaj operators because they can still afford to move around a bit more swiftly than their commuter bus (daladala) counterparts.

In the city centre, as indeed nearly everywhere else, police have all but run out of ideas on how to make traffic move. Ask them why, and they will tell you the roads are just too narrow or potholed or both for comfort and that too many vehicles are moving around for infrastructure to cope.

The hygiene aspect is a much great cause for concern. The downpour found many parts of this city of four million or so residents already suffocating under the weight of garbage.

The rains have only helped to compound the problem, and there is understandable fear that the near future will likely witness a humanitarian crisis in the form of communicable diseases like malaria, diarrhoea, dysentery and typhoid.

Most unfortunately, some people don’t care a cent about the likely repercussions of the irresponsibility with which they behave in the face of lurking danger like the one we risk limping into by closing our eyes to environmental black spots.

Successive Dar es Salaam regional commissioners and other authorities, notably incumbent William Lukuvi and Abbas Kandoro before him, made spirited efforts to keep the city sparkling clean. They made little headway.

The Tanzania Meteorological Agency has now warned that the rains might continue possibly until Saturday at the earliest, and probably with stepped-up vengeance, and this is terrible news.

It is most worrying that a mere two days of average rainfall have literally taken the country major city and commercial capital hostage. Residents of the city and indeed the entire nation and possibly even the outside world will be wondering what will happen if we have more ferocious downpours or if it rains for two successive weeks.

By the look of things, our approach of choice remains that age-old “fire brigade” style of moving in to clear the debris long after the harm has been done and, that done, wait to repeat the futile exercise after the next tragedy.

Tanzania is no stranger to disasters. No country is. We must therefore have learnt too many crucial lessons from previous catastrophes to be still engaging in guesswork.

Where are our urban planning and development wizards and the authorities they are working under? What are they doing? Any lessons learnt from the numerous “study tours” they have been making to mega-cities in different parts of the world?

The Mercer Human Resource Consulting company has made a list of the dirtiest cities in the world, basing on the data on the level of air impurity, waste recycling, the potability of water, the availability of hospital services, medical supplies and the existence of contagious diseases in 215 large localities of the world.

1. Baku, Azerbaijan. The pollution index: 27.6. There is registered the high level of pollution due to the oil production.

Kama tungekuwa wa kujifunza tungeshafanya hivyo siku nyingi, lakini hata hi mvua ya juzi hakuna yoyote aliyetia neno. Si Rais wa nchi wala Mkuu wa Mkoa.

hivi zile drainage systems zilizokuwa zikiwekwa ndio nazo zimezidiwa au?..................inatia hasira sana kwa kweli.............ma-injinia vipi jamani.......

Drainage system ni ya miaka ya 60 ambapo population ya Dar ilikuwa haifiki hata 200,000 sasa watu wameachiwa kujenga kiholela na jiji kupanuka sana lakini hakuna aliyekumbuka kupanua drainage system ili iweze kuhimili vishindo vya kukua kwa jiji kwa majengo na population anbayo ni zaidi ya 4 millioni matokeo yake mvua kubwa ya nusu saa tu Indian Ocean inahamia katika mitaa ya jiji. Ikitokea mvua kubwa kwa muda wa wiki kutakuwa na maafa makubwa sana. GOD FORBID!
