A fresh warning has been sounded on Lake Victoria's shrinking water levels. Scientists say the trend could spell doom to the East African region. The lake, they said in Arusha at a regional scientific conference, was losing its water at an alarming rate and called for urgent official interventions. Senior Kenyan, Ugandan and Tanzanian government officials, who were present, agreed and said the more than 30 million East Africans eking out a living from the basin could face starvation and other problems if the trend was not reversed.
