East Africa's Lake Victoria is the world's largest tropical lake — but some experts think it may disappear within twenty years.

Water levels have dropped dramatically in recent years thanks to climate change, hydroelectric dam projects and increasing pressure on the lake's threatened resources. The crisis endangers the livelihood of the more than 30 million people who rely on the lake for food and work.

This report is part of Pulitzer Center-sponsored project "Water Wars: Ethiopia and Kenya" (http://bit.ly/sa6BtQ).

Produced by the Common Language Project in association with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting. As originally aired on "Foreign Exchange with Daljit Dhaliwal," an Azimuth Media production.
