1.1.1.WATER RESOURCES The Nile basin constitutes about 98 per cent of the total area of the country, while a fringe of about 4,500km2 along the country’s border with Kenya belongs to the Rift Valley basin. The Ugandan part of the Nile basin shares a large part of the extensive interconnected system of the Equatorial Lakes, which forms the upper part of the White Nile. Lake Victoria, which drains a total area of about 184,000km2 in Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Kenya and the entire southern part of Uganda, has its outlet at Jinja. Passing the Owen Falls Dam, the water flows through the Victoria Nile into Lake Kyoga and subsequently into the northern end of Lake Albert. The other branch of the lake system, i.e. Lake George and Lake Edward, is connected via the Semliki River, which flows into the southern end of Lake Albert. From Lake Albert, the Albert Nile flows northwards towards Sudan. Uganda’s wetlands are widespread and complex. About 10 per cent of the country, or approximately 24,000km2, is covered by wetlands (swamps), of which about one-third is permanently flooded. In the south and west of the country, they form an extensive low gradient drainage system in steep V-shaped valley bottoms with a permanent wetland core and relatively narrow seasonal wetland edges. In the north, they mainly consist of broad floodplains. In the east, they exist as a network of small, vegetated valley bottoms in a slightly undulating landscape. Wetlands may reduce the effects of both floods and droughts, provide fish resources and support cropping and grazing along their margins, and they are centres of high biodiversity and productivity as well as valuable refuges and sources of food for fish. Furthermore, they are active biological filters in the treatment of effluents, but because of this function they are also sensitive to the accumulation of pollution. Internal surface water resources are estimated to be 39km3/yr. Groundwater is believed to be around 29km3/yr, but all of this is considered to be overlap between surface water and groundwater, keeping the total internal renewable water resources (IRWR) at 39km3/yr. External resources of 27km3/yr comprise inflow from Lake Victoria (25km3/yr) as well as inflow via Lake Edward and Lake Albert from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The total renewable water resources of the country are estimated to be 66km3/yr. The potential yield from deep aquifers is above 3m3/hr in the southwest, southeast and northwest and along the eastern border of the country. In large areas of the central parts of the country potential yields are 2-3m3/hr, while in some areas it is below 1m3/hr.
1.1.2.WATER USE Uganda’s total water withdrawal was 300 million m3 in 2002, representing 0.4 per cent of total renewable water resources. The greatest water user was the municipal sector with 134 million m3, followed by irrigation and livestock with 120 million m3, and industry with 46 million m3. Groundwater represents the main source of municipal water supply for the rural population of Uganda. It is also important for livestock use, particularly in the drier regions. Groundwater extraction takes place from springs, boreholes and to a lesser extent from hand-dug wells. Surveys have identified some 12,000 springs in Uganda, of which more than 4,500 have been developed and protected for safe use. About 9,000 boreholes, typically drilled to a depth of 60-90m, are equipped with hand pumps. Rates of actual extraction are low and most hand pumps have capacities between 0.6 and 1.2m3/hr depending on the pumping head.
1.2.WATER QUALITY, ECOSYSTEMS AND HUMAN HEALTH Major environmental problems are draining of wetlands for agricultural use; deforestation; overgrazing; soil erosion; water hyacinth infestation in Lake Victoria; widespread poaching. Through the Environmental Impact Assessment, precautions are always taken to avoid pollution of lakes, rivers and streams in the event of developing irrigation schemes. Farmers are encouraged to leave a vegetative area around the water source, with a width of 50m for small streams or 100m for large rivers. Additionally, farmers are continuously educated on the use of agrochemicals in combination with water management. Partial and total sedimentation of dams and valley tanks has occurred in most structures from the 1960s (over 1,000) and it is a common phenomenon in the Karamoja area, where most of the soils are sandy/sandy loam in nature. This has substantially curtailed valley tank/dam construction in the area for livestock watering, and sedimentation would be one of the risks when the need arises for construction of irrigation structures. These structures are breeding grounds for mosquitoes, hence the prevalence of malaria among the surrounding communities. Bilharzia flourishes in streams or swamps with low water velocities and farmers are in constant contact with the water. Consequently, farmers in Kibimba, Doho and Olweny irrigation schemes have fallen prey to the disease. Incidences of river blindness have been reported in some parts of western Uganda.
