| dc.description.abstract | The project of NWSC at Bweranga involves development of a new water intake and
treatment plant with the overall objective to improve the quality of life, health and economy
of people in the South and West of greater Kampala. This objective can only be achieved
with a good water quality supply in sufficient amounts. Research shows that water quality in
Lake Victoria is drastically reducing due to pollution. However research shows that some
parts of Lake Victoria are not polluted hence pursuit by NWSC to construct a treatment plant
in one of the sites at Bweranga in Entebbe Wakiso District. The aim of this research was to
document the current quality of water at the shores of Lake Victoria in Bweranga using the
selected parameters of EC, Temperature, pH, BOD, Turbidity, TSS, Nitrates, FC,
Phytoplankton abundance and species. All analyses were done in NWSC’s central laboratory
in Bugolobi, Kampala District. The results showed that all the tested parameters were within
the limits of the standards of drinking water quality for Uganda | en_US |
