SURVEY II 2017 PRELIMINARY REPORT - UGANDA
UPGro: A social and natural science approach to enabling
sustainable use of groundwater for the benefit of the poor

Hidden Crisis unravelling current failures for future success in rural groundwater supply
THE BIG IDEA
• Millions of pounds of investment by water users,
charities and tax-payers are wasted each year by water
points failing soon after construction. Getting a more
complete understanding of how to keep water flowing
from boreholes will reduce waste and improve water
services for Africa’s poorest communities.
RESEARCH AIM / HYPOTHESIS
• The underlying causes of rapid failure of approximately a
third of African rural groundwater sources are complex and
multi-faceted, but with interdisciplinary approaches can be
understood, diagnosed and ultimately anticipated and
mitigated

E-COLI TEST
• Pump type: 72% IM2 and 28% IM3 (Rising mains – 62.5%GI, 23%PVC, 14.49%Al and <0.1%SS; Rods – 69%GI and 31%SS).
• Av. T = 5.53 m2/day (median 0.55) (T = 0.05 to 154m2/day)
• Av. Temp= 27.8 ̊C, pH = 6.2, SEC =196 µS/cm, Eh = 139mV, Total Iron = 1.1mg/l, DO = 1.9mg/l and Turbidity = 48.4.
• E-Coli (CPU/100ml): <1 (n=17), 1-10 (n=18), 10-100 (n=13) and >100 (n=2)
• Community livelihood (social, political, economic in addition to water source management) directly affects the sustainability and hygiene of water point sources.
