About this statute

This Order states that its purpose is to determine the main direction for managing water resources in large hydrographic basins. This provision names the main hydrographic basins as the Congo River Basin and the Nile River Basin. Water in the main hydrographic basins must be managed through programmes that protect, conserve, safeguard, and ensure rational use of water resources. People living in Rwanda must control soil erosion in the main hydrographic basins, especially when carrying out activities on those lands. It is prohibited to throw or discharge harmful substances into water or anywhere else in a way that can reach water.
