Boreholes and pit latrines

I will shortly be departing to Uganda and have been asked to consider several projects while I am there. These are:

Reviewing existing boreholes and the site for several proposed new boreholes

Meeting a supplier for bio-sand filters for the above boreholes - and to make recommendations

Review the potential for using a reservoir instead of boreholes

Review the possibility of rainwater harvesting

Review sanitation arrangements - particularly within the local village where there are either no formal arrangements or pit latrines which would affect groundwater.

I'd be grateful for your advice and some essential reading matter!
