Summary:Report To: United Nations Development Program (UNDP), Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania === Introduction: Water Harvesting Systems is an appropriate technology method of meeting the domestic water supply in the Dodoma and Shinyanga areas. It is important that the most cost effective methods be utilized. The most apparent methods are first described and then "fitted" to the Dodoma and Shinyanga areas using a rainfall /runoff computer model. Before the model can be used it was important to visit the locations where water is needed. This was accomplished during a field trip while the consultant was visiting Tanzania from March 6 to March 20, 1993. The trip to the Dodoma started on March 9, 1993 where we stayed until March 11, after which we drove on the Shinyanga, arriving on March 13. We stayed in Shinyanga for 3 days before leaving for Mwanza where we returned by plane to Dar Es Salaam on the morning of March 17.
