Executive Agencies Act Cap. 245 by the Government Notice (GN)
No. 138 published on 22 nd August, 2008 as amended by the GN. No.
216 of July 8th 2016. The WI was an offshoot of former Rwegarulila
Water Resources Institute (RWRI), which also came from the name
Water Resources Institute (WRI) that was established in 1974 in order to
supply the middle level technical workforce needed to implement the
Rural Water Supply Programme.
In 1980 Water Resources Institute was renamed as Rwegarulila Water

Resources Institute. This change was in honor of the late Fredrick
Rwegarulila, the then Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Water, who
played a pivotal role in establishment of the Institute and development of
the water sector in general. This came as one of the resolutions during the
1980‟s Annual Water Experts‟ Conference (AWEC) held in Tanga.
Following reforms in the public sector, which were geared towards

improving service delivery among interventions undertaken by the
Government, some of Government functions were delegated to semi -
autonomous bodies such as Executive Agencies. The RWRI being one
of the Ministry of Water and Irrigation units, was transformed into an
Executive Agency on the 22nd August 2008 with the new name of “Water
1
Development and Management Institute” (WDMI) as amended by the
Government Notice No. 216 published on July 08, 2016.
1.2 Organization Structure of WI

The Rector is the Chief Executive Officer of the Institute who is assisted
by two Deputy Rectors, Head of Departments and Units. The Rector,
Deputy Rectors and Head of Units shall constitute the Management
Team of the WI.
The WI Management Team, with technical and professional support

employees, shall establish standards, systems and procedures for
resources management and utilization, capacity building,
coordination of the Institute training programs, consultancy and

The calculation of retake tuition fee of such student will be under the
following formula:
Where: R.T is Retake Tuition Fee

C.M is Credit of a Module

CHAPTER FIVE
5.0 STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC ASSESSMENT REGULATIONS FOR

NATIONAL TECHNICAL AWARD LEVEL 4 TO 9.
5.1 PART I: INTRODUCTION

5.1.1 Background
Water Institute (WI) is fully accredited by National Council for Technical and
Vovational Education and Training (NACTVET) with training programmes,
which lead to award of Ordinary Diploma in areas of Water Supply and
Sanitation Engineering, Hydrogeology and Water Well Drilling, Hydrology and
Meteorology, Irrigation Engineering, Sanitation Engineering, Water Quality
Laboratory Technology and Operation and Maintenance of Water Systems
Engineering. Award of Bachelor‟s Degree in Water Resources and Irrigation
Engineering, Sanitation Engineering, Community Development for Water Supply
and Sanitation, Hydrogeology and Drilling and Engineering Hydrology and award
of Master of Water Supply and Sanitation Engineering together with Master of
Engineering in Water Resources and Utility Management.
The Students‟ Academic Assessment Regulations (Regulations) are to be

complied with by students, internal and external examiners. External examiners
are for moderating examination papers before the same are administered to
students and for verifying the marks awarded by internal examiners. These
Regulations have been developed in accordance with NACTVET requirements
32
and apply to Certificates, Diploma, Bachelor Degree and Master Degree (NTA
level 4 - 9) programmes.
WI amended the Regulations and Students‟ By- Laws of 2014 “By- Laws” in the

5.1.2 Rationale
a) To provide for appropriate penalties for the offences committed by
WI students during exams.
b) To provide for a forum for appeal to students against decision made

under the Regulations.
c) With the increase in number of students enrolled per year as

well as advancement in technology, there has been increase in
exam offences related to technology especially during exams.
There is a need therefore to have in place strict regulations for
protection of the Institute integrity.
5.1.3 Aim, Vision, Mission and Roles and Functions
