Abstract: The progression of anthropogenic encroachments on nature reflects negatively on the commu-nity inhabitants. Unequivocally, rainfall and drought patterns have changed globally due to climatic change. As a result, the Mpazi basin has been experiencing more frequent and intense flash floods in recent decades, resulting in casualties and devastation of properties. The un-planned urbanization of the Mpazi catchment plays a significant role in altering the hydrologic components, particularly an increase in the excess rainfall due to the sealing of lands.
