AB - Water plays the fundamental role in sustaining the living system. Water scarcity is mostlyexperienced dramatically by people living in poverty, most of them in rural areas and often in thepoorest countries. Burundi has been identified as one of those countries. This study aimed to analyzeand estimate the current and future water demands in the seven communes surrounding KibiraNational Park (KNP) in Burundi. Sectors such as households, livestock, agricultural production andindustry as the key water users in the study area were considered. The results showed an alarmingincrease in future water demand. Water demand by food crops increased to 288,779,060 m3/yr in 2020and 306,018,348 m3/yr in 2050. Agricultural sector will be demanding the major available water in the seven communes surrounding Kibira National Park except Muruta and Bukeye which showed thatwater demand for tea industry was the highest in 2050. The water resources could be the greatestchallenges for the overall development of the communities surrounding Kibira National Park. Thecurrent water resources may not be enough and therefore may not be able to meet the needs of thoseseven communities around KNP.
