Boreholes and pit latrines in Uganda

I will shortly (11 July) be departing to Uganda to assist with a charitable organisation near Kampala. The charity work is usually geared towards supporting an orphanage; however as I am a qualified Civil Engineer I 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!

Regards,

Mari
