Description

The objective of this research was to ascertain the extent of contamination in various water sources in the selected districts, thereafter develop an IoT solution to monitor water quality. Water samples were drawn from protected springs, shallow wells, taps, and boreholes and immediately transported on ice to the laboratory for analysis. Water samples were collected from sixteen districts from central, eastern, western and northern Uganda.
