He has reported from various countries in Africa, Europe and most recently in Asia, where he observed African migrants struggling to make a living in Hong Kong as part of a Wits China-Africa Reporting Project tour. Fredrick has a Master’s Degree in Communication for Development from Malmo University in Sweden and has won various continental and national journalism awards including the prestigious CNN/Multichoice African Journali st award in 2009 and the UN Development Journalism Award in 2013. When a Chinese consortium won a concession to revive production at the Kilembe mines in south western Uganda, which had stopped operating in 1982, he applied for a Wits China-Africa Reporting Project grant to find out what the investment would mean for the locals and for Uganda. The knocked-knee driver of the Boda Boda motorcycle revive the mine, however, and clearly the locals are hopeful whistled as he rode. I was sure he heard my question that this could once again mean prosperity for the area. because he changed to a low tone and answered over his shoulder. “Of course we have already started benefiting Kilembe mines today from the resumption of Kilembe copper mines.

Abstract Water as it flows through a town is continuously affected and changed by social relations of power and vice-versa. In the course of its flow, it always benefits some, while depriving, or even in some cases harming others. The issues concerning distribution of water are closely intertwined with the distribution of risks, at the crux of which are questions related to how decisions related to water allocation and distribution are made.

This report, for the first time, coincides with the Government financial year. 2. From the financial point of view the year has again been one of considerable difficulty since, as a result of the Economy Commission Report, it was necessary to restrict the money available for recurrent expenditure to the same level as the previous year. Although an additional sum was available to cover normal increases in salaries, the general effect was that many economies had to in all be made grades of staff; some important vacancies could not be filled, and expansion was out of the question.

W. Nsubuga1,2*, Edith N. Namutebi3, Masoud Nsubuga-Ssenfuma2 1Department of Geography, Geoinformatics and Meteorology, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa 2National Environmental Consult Ltd., Kampala, Uganda 3Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kampala, Uganda Email: *[email protected] Received 1 August 2014; revised 26 August 2014; accepted 18 September 2014 Copyright © 2014 by authors and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Water resources of a country constitute one of its vital assets that significantly contribute to the socio-economic development and poverty eradication. However, this resource is unevenly distri- buted in both time and space. The major source of water for these resources is direct rainfall, which is recently experiencing variability that threatens the distribution of resources and water availability in Uganda. The annual rainfall received in Uganda varies from 500 mm to 2800 mm, with an average of 1180 mm received in two main seasons. The spatial distribution of rainfall has resulted into a network of great rivers and lakes that possess big potential for development. These resources are being developed and depleted at a fast rate, a situation that requires assessment to establish present status of water resources in the country. The paper reviews the characteristics, availability, demand and importance of present day water resources in Uganda as well as describ- ing the various issues, challenges and management of water resources of the country.
