Residents affected by the $4.6 billion Ken-Batwa connection say compensation cannot cover their losses. Officials say more than 90% have been paid.

Environmentalists warn that the planned Dhowdan dam will submerge about 9,000 dunams, including part of the Pana tiger reserve. The government says the project will ease water shortages.
