It originates on the east side of Mawenzi (Mount Kilimanjaro), and flows so close to the River Rombo as almost to form a fork. The Lumi, however, maintains its southerly direction, and may thus be said to represent the upper course of the Ruvu, one of tho two main sources of the Pangani River. It flows around the Lake Chala and the Taveta town in the west and empties into the Lake Jipe.[1] The fish species Barbus sp. 'Pangani' has only been found in the river's N'joro Springs, situated in the upper Pangani River drainage basin. Wetland managementMost water taken from the Lumi is from the section that flows through Kenya.[2] After the building of several dams along the Kenyan side of the Lumi, and with several periods of reduced rainfall, the dry up of Lake Jipe became a concern, necessitating wetland management programs.[3] During the period of 2004-2006, the United Nations Development Programme GEF Small Grants Programme and the Biodiversity Conservation Programme of the European Union have completed a de-siltation and restoration project of the river's original course.[4] References1. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.esfconsultants.org/images/downloads/20060128_ESF_LakeJipeCaseStudy_BaselineSurvey.pdf| title=BASELINE SURVEY REPORT FOR LAKE JIPE| accessdate=10 December 2011}}{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} {{Rivers of Tanzania}}{{coord|3|32|44|S|37|45|17|E|display=title|region:TZ_type:river}}2. ^{{cite book |author1=IUCN Eastern Africa Programme |title=Pangani basin: a situation analysis |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NW9bRbbgft8C&pg=PA34 |accessdate=9 October 2011 |year=2003 |publisher=IUCN |isbn=978-2-8317-0760-0 |pages=34–}} 3. ^{{cite book|last=Maltby|first=Edward|title=The wetlands handbook|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-K5TCHfEEtMC&pg=PA855|accessdate=9 October 2011|year=2009|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|isbn=978-0-632-05255-4|pages=855–}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://sgp.undp.org/web/projects/7731/rehabilitation_of_lake_jipe_ecosystem_river_lumi_banks_stabilization_and_rehabilitation_of_irrigatio.html|title=Rehabilitation of Lake Jipe Ecosystem: River Lumi Banks Stabilization and Rehabilitation of Irrigation Canals (KEN-GEF-04-020)|date=2006 |publisher=GEF Small Grants Programme|accessdate=9 October 2011}} 3 : Rivers of Tanzania|Rivers of Kenya|Pangani basin |
