Photo 5. Minimum Flow provision in Dam Wall The team returned to Kamwenge village for the night (some 25 km away) and arranged to meet the contractor at 6.30am the following morning. On the morning of 22 nd August, the team met Dayanandra who gave his permission to visit the Gorge unaccompanied. The first area visited was the rock blasting for the continuation of the water channel (photos 6) where a group of red colobus were encountered. Finding a path down to the river, QL began a basic plant list (Appendix 1) and the team was able to get to the top of the Mpanga Falls (photo 7). The team then returned to the powerhouse and walked up river to some smaller falls and later looked at the Gorge further down river (photo 8). Various areas due for replanting of cycads from the nursery (photo 9) were visited and the sorry state of the nursery recorded (photo 10). After lunch in Kamwenge, we said goodbye to Dyanandra and left for the return trip to Kampala.
