The Uganda Atlas

Mpamujugu, contributes 97 million m3/yr. The area of the lake has been shrinking over the years. The lake had an area of 164 km 2 in 1990 and by 2000 the area had reduced to 87 km 2 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.
