KAMPALA, Uganda
— The water supply in the city of Mbale is contaminated with human waste and suspended solids, making treatment difficult and expensive.
Residents in the Manafwa River area dump human waste into the river, which then requires expensive disinfection, according to David Opoka, the National Water and Sewerage Corporation area manager.
