Ukugubungela iikhilomitha ezingama-68,000 zeekhilomitha, ILake Victoria, Elona lizwe likhulu e-Afrika kwaye ikwindawo yesibini kuphela kwiLake Superior (i-USA) emhlabeni, ekwabelwana ngayo yi-Uganda, iTanzania, neKenya eMpuma Afrika igqithile kwinqanaba layo lamanzi langaphambili elikhukulise amalwandle aliqela kunxweme lwayo.

NgokukaGqirha Callist Tindimugaya, uMkomishinala kwiCandelo loMphathiswa Wezamanzi, eli chibi belinyuka ukusukela ngo-Okthobha u-2019 ngaphambi kokubetha i-1,134.38 yeemitha ngo-Matshi 2020, lityumza irekhodi elidlulileyo le-1,133.27 yeemitha ezirekhodiweyo ngoMeyi 1965. Umahluko ziimitha eziyi-1.11 amanzi awayezele ngamanzi kwiindawo ezikufutshane kwicala laseTanzania kunye ne-1.32 yeemitha kwicala lase-Uganda.

"Sigunyazise iinkampani ezenza umbane ukuba zichithe ukuya kuthi ga kwi-2,400 cubic metres ngomzuzwana," utshilo uTindimugaya.

Wongeze ngelithi ukukhutshwa kwe-2,400 cubic metres zamanzi kwiDama i-Owen Falls kunye neJinja kuyenziwa ukunqanda ichibi ukuba linganweneli ngaphaya kwendawo yokhuselo kunye nokugcina amadama amandla ekhuselekile. Uthe ichibi linokuchitheka ngokulula lize kwiindawo ezithile zedolophu yase Kampala.

"Kukho imvula engaphezulu kunokuba bekulindelekile ngoMeyi, kwaye ukukhutshwa kwamanzi kuzakwenza indawo yokunyuka kokungena kwamanzi echibini," utshilo uTindimugaya. Abantu kuyakufuneka baphinde bafuduselwe kwenye indawo kuba ukuchithela amanzi kumazantsi omNayile kuza kunyusa umthamo wamanzi eVictoria Nile (phakathi kwamachibi aseVictoria naseKyoga) naseLake Albert.

NgokukaTindimugaya, iLake Victoria injengesitya sokuhlambela esinendawo enye kuphela enguMlambo iNayile ekwabelwana ngawo ngamazwe ali-11.

IChibi iVictoria londliwe yimilambo engama-23 ethe yonakalisa ukonakala kweemvula zakutshanje ezisuka eKagera eRwanda ukuya kumlambo iNyamwamba kwiNtaba yeNtaba. Uluhlu lweRuwenzori. Umlambo wagqabhuka kwiindonga zawo, kukhokelela ekufudukeni kwesibhedlele saseKilembe kwisithili saseKasese.

E-Entebbe, apho kukho iSikhululo senqwelomoya i-Entebbe, ichibi lisondela kufutshane nendlela ye-Kampala-Entebbe. Ukunyuka kwamanzi kuye kwasusa abantu kwiindawo zokufika, iihotele zodidi oluphezulu, kunye neendawo zokuhlala ezingqonge iLake Victoria kubandakanya iLake Victoria Serena Golf Course, iLake Lake Resort Garuga, iSpeke Resort Munyonyo, kunye neMarriot Protea Hotel, kubandakanya neLwandle iMiami elisezantsi ePort. IBell, eKampala, zonke zakhiwe ngaphakathi kummandla okhusela iimitha ezingama-200 kwiLake Victoria.

KwiPaki yeSizwe iMurchison Falls eParaa, inqanawa yokuwela inqanawa edibanisa amacandelo asemantla kunye nakumazantsi epaki itsaliwe, nto leyo eyenza ukuba isikhephe singabi nakwenzeka. Ibhulorho esondeleyo isakhiwa, kodwa kungabikho zindwendwe ngenxa yobhubhane we-COVID-19, akukho xinzelelo kwabasemagunyeni lokufumana ezinye iindlela.

Ngokuka-Atukwatse Abia, isikhokelo sobuchwephesha kwiUganda Safari Guides Association (USAGA), oyena nobangela wale meko “kukutshatyalaliswa kwemimandla egcina amanzi kunye notshintsho lwemozulu ngokubanzi [kunye] nokonakaliswa kwemigxobhozo namahlathi ubukhulu becala. amanzi kwaye uyikhulule kancinci echibini. Ezi zinto azisekho, ngenxa yoko, amanzi ahamba ngokuthe ngqo ukususela kwimvula okanye kungena echibini kungekho nto iwabambayo kangangexesha elithile. ” Ubuye wongeza wathi: “Umoya welizwekazi ungunobangela wokonyuka kweemvula kwingingqi, yiyo loo nto ke ngo-Epreli, thina (Uganda) singakhange sibone mvula zininzi, kodwa ichibi laligcwele.

Ukuqhubekeka kokubaleka okuvela emakhaya nakwimizi-mveliso kudityaniswa nokutshatyalaliswa kwemigxobhozo kukhokelele kwisilinda esinzima kunye nokuchithwa kwelitye okususa amanzi echibini.

Kwinqaku le-ETN elinxulumene nomhla ka-Epreli 18 osihloko sithi "Iimfazwe zomkhosi zokususa isiqithi esidadayo kuMthombo weNayile, ”Iziqithi ezidadayo ezikwabizwa ngokuba zi-sudds zibangele ukunqamka kombane kwilizwe lonke xa bevale iiturbines kwisikhululo samandla ombane eJinja ephazamisa ukusasaza kukaMongameli kwisizwe kwi-COVID-19. Ezi ziqithi-ezininzi zigubungela ubungakanani beebhola ezimbini zebhola ekhatywayo-ezikhutshiwe ezaziphazanyiswe kakhulu luluntu kunye nokulima.

UMphathiswa kaRhulumente Wezendalo, u-Beatrice Anywar, sele ekhuphe isigwebo seveki-nye kubo bonke abantu abahlala ngokungekho semthethweni ngokujikeleza amanzi ukuze baphume kwezi ndawo kungenjalo bagxothwe ngenkani.

Okwangoku ayizukubonwa ukuba i-Anywar iyakuphumeza ukukhutshwa okuxeliweyo okoko uMongameli Museveni wakumisa ukugxothwa kwabantu kuwo nawuphina umhlaba ngexesha lobhubhane we-COVID-19 kwaye kananjalo wathintela nayiphi na inkundla ukuba ikhuphe imiyalelo yokukhutshwa.

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:

Kwinqaku elinxulumene ne-ETN yomhla we-18 ku-Epreli enesihloko esithi "Amadabi omkhosi ukususa isiqithi esidadayo kuMthombo weNayile," iziqithi ezidadayo ezikwaziwa ngokuba zii-sudds zabangela ukumka kombane kwilizwe lonke xa zazivala iiinjini zomoya kwisikhululo sombane wamanzi eJinja ziphazamisana ngokufutshane. Usasazo lukaMongameli kwisizwe kwi-COVID-19.
Ngokutsho kuka-Atukwatse Abia, umkhokeli oqeqeshiweyo we-Uganda Safari Guides Association (USAGA), oyena nobangela mkhulu wale meko “kukutshatyalaliswa kweendawo eziqokelela amanzi emvula kunye nokutshintsha kwemozulu ngokubanzi [kunye] nokutshatyalaliswa kwemigxobhozo namahlathi ubukhulu becala okuza kugcina imvula. amanzi kwaye uwakhulule ngokuthe chu ukuya echibini.
Wongezelela ukuba ukukhutshwa kwe-2,400 cubic metres yamanzi kwi-Owen Falls Dam kunye nedama laseJinja kwenziwa ukuze kuthintelwe i-echibi ekukhuliseni ngaphaya kwendawo yokukhusela kunye nokugcina amadama ombane ekhuselekile.
