To monitor the parameter of surface and spring water used for drinking and domestic purposes in cholera prone communities of Uganda.
Cholera is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Uganda. Cholera outbreaks affect predominantly communities using the surface water and the springs. To prevent and control cholera outbreaks in these communities, promotion of use of safe water (both quantity and quality), improved sanitation and hygiene are prioritized interventions by the Uganda Ministry of Health.
Dataset contains latitude, longitude, altitude, source name, water sources, water source type, pH, temperature, dissolve oxygen, conductivity and turbidity.
Laboratory analysis - Water samples were collected monthly from 27 sites used by the communities for collection of drinking water. Water was tested to determine the vital physicochemical parameters namely the pH, temperature, dissolve oxygen, conductivity and turbidity.
