  • Kingfisher Oil Development Surface Water
    October 2017 CNOOC UGANDA LIMITED KINGFISHER OIL PROJECT, HOIMA DISTRICT, UGANDA ‐ SURFACE WATER SPECIALIST REPORT VERSION Submitted to: The Executive Director National Environment Management Authority, NEMA House, Plot 17/19/21 Jinja Road, P. O. Box 22255 Kampala, Uganda READY VOLUME 4, STUDY 2 4, STUDY VOLUME – PRINT FINAL Report Number: 1776816‐321512‐13 REPORT Distribution: 1 x electronic copy CNOOC Uganda Limited 1 x electronic copy NEMA 1 x electronic copy Eco & Partner 1 x electronic copy Golder SURFACE WATER SPECIALIST REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents hydrology baseline information and an impact assessment of surface water hydrology affected by the Project. An understanding of surface water hydrological conditions prior to mine oil and gas development is essential to assess changes in water availability that could affect local users. Changes in hydrology can also affect water quality and other resources such as fish habitat, vegetation and wildlife. Hydrological data is further required to design mine oil and gas facilities (e.g. culverts, channels and storage ponds). The regional climate in the area is described as tropical with a distinct wet and dry season. Rainfall over the study area catchment varies between 700 mm and 1 400 mm/ annum. Results of Global Climate Change models indicate that Uganda is likely to experience more extreme periods of intense rainfall and drought, while the rainfall seasons become more erratic and/or infrequent. The project site is located within the Kingfisher catchment and drains westwards into the south eastern embankments of Lake Albert. Kingfisher catchment is associated with a very high western rift escarpment that drains into Lake Albert via several scattered streams and wetlands flowing westwards.
