dc.description.abstractThis paper examines opportunities and challenges of Little Ruaha River on people’s livelihoods in Iringa Municipal, Tanzania. A total of 105 respondents from Ruaha ward and 10 key informants were involved in this study. The study employed quantitative and qualitative approaches in collecting and analyzing data. Questionnaire survey, interviews, field observations and documentary review were used as data collection techniques. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics while qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis. The study findings reveal that Little Ruaha River is very potential to the adjacent community as it supports small scale agriculture, brick making, small scale industries, domestic uses and fishing. Though the river is very potential, full utilization of water resource is hindered by river fluctuation, improper human activities, water use restrictions, floods, existence of dangerous animals and lack of capital. The study concludes that, the river is very potential to the local community, thus recommending sustainable exploitation of water resource for improved livelihood and resource conservation.en_US
