Statute overview

About this statute

This article states that the Order’s purpose is to set the main visions for managing water resources in large hydrographic basins. This article says the main hydrographic basins under the Order are the Congo River Basin and the Nile River Basin. Appropriate management of water in the main hydrographic basins must support programmes to protect, conserve, safeguard, and use water resources rationally. People in Rwanda must control soil erosion in the main hydrographic basins, and people carrying out activities there must do so based on local land conditions and rainfall intensity. It is prohibited to throw or discharge substances harmful to water resources into water or anywhere else if they may reach water.
