Analysis of spatial distribution of public Sanitation infrastructure in Paidha town council,Uganda

Abstract

As towns and cities in Africa continues to grow rapid pace, the importance of sanitation services must not be over looked. By 2050, the world Economic forum predicts that more than 1.33 billion people in Africa will call a city home. Such large number of people living in growing cities and towns could cause sanitation problem that must be provided for (Agathe Nougaret 14 July 2020). From Mesopotamia first clay sewage pipes in 4000BC, to indoor plumbing in ancient Rome to flush toilets in the industrial Revolution, sanitation helped human health, development and economic prosperity. Sanitation infrastructure has to be adopted to several specific contexts including consumers’ expectations and local resources available. Sanitation technologies may involve centralized civil engineering structures like sewer systems, sewage treatment, surface run off treatment and solid waste landfills. The accessibility to improve water and sanitation has been understood as a crucial mechanism to save infants and children from the adverse health outcome associated with diarrhea disease (Marrianne J Botting Edoye oporben and Edward J Mills 29 July 2010).
