Tanzania outlined its National Water Grid strategy at the United Nations climate conference in Brazil, presenting an infrastructure plan connecting major lakes and rivers into a coordinated distribution system. Deputy Permanent Secretary Abdallah Hassan Mitawi told attendees that the network will provide sustainable water access for communities, industries, agriculture and environmental needs while addressing seasonal scarcity and climate pressures affecting natural sources.

The government aims to complete the grid by 2030 following presidential directives issued during World Water Day commemorations and parliamentary proceedings. Officials expect the system will unlock economic opportunities through stabilized supplies supporting food security in rain-dependent agricultural zones while reducing burdens on women and children traveling long distances for water collection.

WaterAid Tanzania representative Manka Mushi stated the integrated approach will ensure equitable distribution reaching underserved regions through national connections, benefiting multiple sectors including fisheries, energy, health and education while strengthening adaptation capacity during prolonged dry periods.
