ITU Workshop on “ICT as an Enabler for Smart Water Management” (Luxor, Egypt, 14 -15 April 2013) Water Resource Management “Uganda’s Experience” Nakiguli Helen Cynthia, Environment Management Specialist, Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), hnakiguli@ucc. co. ug Luxor, Egypt, 14 -15 April 2013

Content Introduction National water and sewerage corporation-NWSC Challenges The next steps Luxor, Egypt, 14 -15 April 2013 2

Introduction The water sector formation in Uganda- Min. of H₂o and Environment – political leadership NWSC DWD D-WRM Luxor, Egypt, 14 -15 April 2013 • Provides water and sewerage services on a commercial basis in gazetted urban areas. So far 23 districts. • Handles all water service provision in the rest of the country. • Not commercial. • Work with local councils- to pipe water, boreholes etc • Focuses on the water resource- availability and adequacy. 3

. . . introduction Main water sources; L. Victoria, R. Nile and (R. Rwizi, R. Kwania, gravity flow from the Rwenzori mountains etc- for the urban provision) Luxor, Egypt, 14 -15 April 2013 4

NWSC Is equipped with an automated system for efficient operational activities Does not focus on water for agriculture (purely urban), Luxor, Egypt, 14 -15 April 2013 35% of its costs is electricity billsespecially for the bigger plants, The bigger water treatment plants are automated, Serves 3. 4 m people with H₂O coverage of 70%(June 2012) 5

NWSC- Automated System The NWSC uses; A central Arc. GIS server for; Management of the Geodatabase(service points, piped network, roads, telecom cables, sewer lines, power lines, etc) Luxor, Egypt, 14 -15 April 2013 Integrated to the billing system and call centre, Other operations; H₂O consumption/distributio n, leakage and network failures, defective meter distribution 6

…. . cont’d An Auto. CAD system for primary creation of device points-basic initial drawings, Pro-poor interventionprepaid metering in the urban-poor areas Luxor, Egypt, 14 -15 April 2013 Work in progress – developing system for district/zone metering, adding network sensors, improving hydraulic modelling, revenue management, network expansion etc. 7

Challenges Poor performance of the data networks, Constrained raw water resourcesintermittent water supply, Non revenue water-illegal connections, old pipe work (system overwhelmed), Poor inter-agency coordination and information sharing (e. g. city authorities, different utilities – power/water, ) Luxor, Egypt, 14 -15 April 2013 8

…. challenges Poor/inadequate systems support from vendors – most applications / equipment are imported, with limited local maintenance operations. Skills sets and competencies are still very limited. Luxor, Egypt, 14 -15 April 2013 9

The next steps. . . towards smart water management Focus on increasing the use of ICT in water management, specifically GIS, Hydraulic modeling, asset management, network monitoring etc- governments should invest in efficiency, Policies, standards and guidelines in place More Capacity / skills development Luxor, Egypt, 14 -15 April 2013 10

…. . next steps Increased focus on Water for Production, at Ministry level. Focus of water for livestock, irrigation etc- automated system Enhancing regional and international collaborations towards smart water management, Promote R&D on smart technologies in water management Luxor, Egypt, 14 -15 April 2013 11

Thank you ? Luxor, Egypt, 14 -15 April 2013 12
