A crucial foundation for a peaceful and sustainable future lies in water and environmental management, yet significant challenges persist. On the second day of the Uganda Water and Environment Week (UWEWK) 2025, a keynote presentation shed light on several pressing issues, including water scarcity driven by heightened competition among various user groups such as farmers, pastoralists, urban water supply, and industries.
Other concerns included land degradation due to overgrazing, deforestation, and unsustainable farming practices; unequal access to resources; weak governance and institutional frameworks; limited human resources; poorly enforced water permits; climate change; social and political factors; poverty and inequality; and rapid population growth.
