economic standpoint, in spite of the improvement of the size of the
water (14,800 km2 in 2013 against 2,500 km2 during the 1980s-90s), as a

strong growth and concentration of populations in the Lake and in its
zone of affluence (13.3 million in 2013 and a projection of 18.3 million
in 2025), has exacerbated the pressure on the natural resources whose
exploitation generates reoccurring serious social conflicts
