Geographic information systems for rural water supply management
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by Michael Masso, Alan Kakwezi, Francis NdahulaGeographic Information Systems (GIS) are databases linked to digital maps. Many public and private sectors in Uganda
have begun using GIS technology to facilitate more effective analysis, planning, and management. The Bundibugyo
District Water Office, in collaboration with the Directorate of Water Development (DWD) and World Harvest Mission
(WHM), has actively applied this technology to the area of water resource management. We are currently updating and
compiling a database of all water sources. We will then begin producing relevant charts and maps. The end goal is to
translate this information into effective action for the operation and maintenance of existing water supply systems and
informed planning of future systems.
