About us

Groundwater expertise, built in Uganda

A Ugandan company dedicated to making groundwater a dependable source of water for communities.

Background

Why groundwater matters

In much of East Africa a semi-arid climate prevails and water resources are scarce, yet drinking water remains the most basic need of a fast-growing rural and urban population.

Large surface water schemes with pipelines and reticulation require very high investment, can serve only limited numbers of rural people, and many fall into disrepair or lose storage capacity to erosion and siltation.

Groundwater is now recognised as a safe, clean and reliable source, which can be tapped without being depleted when it is developed on the basis of proper hydrogeological knowledge.
