Uganda’s key rafting and travel adventure companies doing business along the upper Nile valley are up in arms over plans to build another dam on the Nile.
Uganda’s key rafting and travel adventure companies doing business along the upper Nile valley are up in arms over plans to build another dam on the Nile. This dam could effectively wipe out rafting, a lucrative adventure activity for tourists, which Uganda has become known for over the past two decades, should the preferred high dam be constructed.
When the Bujagali hydro-electric power plant and dam was constructed, financed in part with World Bank money, the Ugandan government gave a binding undertaking on certain offset measures to be taken which included the integrity of Mabira Forest as much as keeping certain clearly-mapped-out downstream sections of the river free of any further dams which could impact on local communities and the tourism industry which has become a major employer and revenue source for the area.
