[LEAF II] April 2020 Policy Brief: Lower Mara River Environmental Flow Assessment
The Mara River Basin is transboundary and of international importance, shared by Tanzania and Kenya and draining into Lake Victoria.

The assessment determined Resource Quality Objectives (RQOs) and reserve flow requirements using a team of experts, partners, and stakeholders (Published on 01 May 2020).
