Lake Victoria Safety Post By: Addison Norman


Lake Victoria
Post By: Addison Norman

            Lake Victoria is the second largest body of freshwater, and shares a border with Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya. Many are beginning to worry about the safety of the lake. The lake is known for unpredictable weather. The combination of the weather patterns and poor communications has resulted in dangerous, treacherous conditions. Officials say that around 5,000 people die per year on Lake Victoria. Many are trying to improve communications so fisherman and others on the lake are notified about the weather.
            If I were on Lake Victoria I would like to know about the weather and other potential dangers. I think it’s important that fisherman and others have efficient communications to be aware of the conditions of the lake.

  2. I don't think that people should continue fishing and going about their daily activities until they have some answers.

  4. I would also want to know about bad things that may happen if I were living on the lake. Then I would be able to prepare for anything, and I would know not to go on the lake at certain points. I can't believe that over 5,000 people die on the lake each year. That is terrible. It is important that we start to learn about whether conditions in the future so that this doesn't happen again. I al agree that fisherman should not go on the lake until they learn more about these conditions.
