The wetlands surrounding Lake Victoria have high biodiversity and productive farmland. About 75% of the workforce are employed in agriculture. Tourism also makes an important contribution to the economy. (a) What is meant by the term biodiversity ? … … … …[2] (b) Look at the map showing the Lake Victoria basin. (i) Name the country with the largest share of Lake Victoria. … [1] (ii) Name two countries that are part of the drainage basin but do not have a share of the lake. … and … [2] (c) Kisumu is a town on the Trans-African Highway. Road transport services provide jobs for people in this area. A scientist noticed that several beaches by Lake Victoria, near Kisumu, were being used by vehicle-washing businesses. To find out if vehicle washing was having any impact on the lake the following method was used. 1. Select five sites: • three sites used for vehicle washing • one site not used for vehicle washing but at a sewage outlet site • one control site, not used for vehicle washing or at a sewage outlet site. 2. Take water samples from each site at 18.00 once a week for six weeks. 3. Ask a student to record all the vehicles washed on six separate days for each of the three vehicle-washing sites. (i) Suggest why the scientist took water samples at 18.00. …[1]

The scientist asked a student to propose a plan for surveys of the snails at more lakeside sites. The student proposed three different plans. plan one I will find three more vehicle-washing sites and record their location on a map. I will look for snails. plan two I will find five more vehicle-washing sites and record their location on a map. I will count the number of snails I can find in five minutes at each site. plan three I will find five more vehicle-washing sites and two sites without vehicle washing. I will record their location on a map. I will count the number of snails I can find in five minutes at each site. (i) Give two reasons why plan two is better than plan one. … … … …[2] (ii) Plan one and plan two are both incomplete.
