Lake Victoria water levels may have increased in quantity due to the recent rains but the quality still remains a question to ponder. The quality of Lake Victoria recently came to the limelight when, on April 3, the Daily Monitor broke the story of a strange matter growing on Lake Victoria shores particularly at Kitubulu Bay in Entebbe.

Experts from different government departments were immediately dispatched to the scene to assess the situation. Their findings showed that the lake is eutrophied - meaning excess nutrients like phosphorous and nitrogen have made the lake fertile to enable the growth of green matter that experts call algal blooms.
