Uganda Atlas of Our Changing Environment - GRID-Arendal

Mpamujugu, contributes 97 million m3/yr. The area of the lake has been
shrinking over the years. The lake had an area of 164 km2 in 1990 and
by 2000 the area had reduced to 87 km2 which is 50% reduction. The fish
catch from Lake Wamala has declined since the lake was stocked in 1956
and opened to fishing during the 1960s. Changing levels of the lake is a
function of rainfall and not as a result of other environmental causes.
