The Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) paradigm, which underpin current water reforms in Tanzania focus on
the use of statutory legal systems to regulate the use of water resources. However, Tanzania operates under a plural legal system,
where the diverse customary systems are relied upon in the implementation of IWRM. Very few human activities are regulated by
statutory laws alone. Neglect of customary laws may cause IWRM implementation to fail, or will have negative consequences for
individuals and groups who were better served by customary-based systems. This paper describes statutory and customary systems
of managing water resources and discusses some of the challenges of implementing IWRM whilst taking appropriate account of
customary laws in Tanzania, with the Rufiji River Basin as a case study. |
