Private hand dug wells are an important source of water in Busia town. These self
supply sources do not meet national water quality standards and their construction is
actively discourage by local authorities. One approach to improve the quality of these
sources is household water treatment and safe storage (HWTS). Interest in HWTS is
growing yet rates of adoption remain low. The purpose of this study is to learn from
users whether household water treatment is a suitable approach for those using hand
dug wells in Busia Town. By understanding user’s attitudes, knowledge and
perceptions more appropriate implementation strategies can be designed. Household
level initiatives could greatly reduce the burden on governments.

Uganda is a country in the humid tropics, with a climate favourable for the utilisation of rainwater harvesting as a significant source of water for domestic purposes. In the last decade rainwater harvesting has seen increased exposure as a promising solution for increasing safe water coverage in the country, although its widespread implementation is hindered by high per capita costs compared to more conventional, communal water supply schemes. It is also noted that rainwater projects are more expensive in Uganda than other countries. The majority of the cost of a rainwater harvesting system is the storage tank, and a reduction in cost of this component would have a major impact on making rainwater harvesting projects more affordable.
