Ywps In Action: YWPs at the Forefront in the Fight Against Water Loss

The Water Loss Specialist Group of the International Water Association (IWA) very recently established the World Water Loss Day to raise awareness about the problem of water losses from drinking water distribution systems.

The YWPs Uganda Chapter in partnership with the Kampala Water Management team will spearhead a leak/burst search in the Kampala water network under the campaign .

During the campaign, YWPs are called upon to report all leaks and burts in their neighborhood, on their way to work, school or chill out zone.

Let's make a difference in our sector by reporting leaks + bursts tomorrow and for the rest of our Youthful days! 😁

Recently, the rising water levers affected operations at the dam, affected settlements plus infrastructure among other effects. The YWP in a clean up exercise at Ggaba removed unbelievable amounts of solid waste from the lake.

How can the YWPs take charge in combating the Emerging challenges i.e solid waste management, flood risk management and other environmental protection initiatives while conserving the environment?

For this and more, join Young Water Professionals from KCCA, UEGCL, Ministry of Water and Environment among others as we chat ways to protect our environment.

*Upcoming YWP Webinar*
Today, the world commemorates the International Environment day with a theme 'Time for nature,' with a focus on its role in providing the essential infrastructure that supports life on Earth and human development.

The YWP Uganda Chapter intends to continue with the celebrations tomorrow and subsequently has organized a Webinar on “Flood Risk Management” whose main objective is to attract, mentor and listen to scientists and practitioners in the field who will help streamline flood risk management practice in order to better cope with future uncertainties.

With the recent rising water levels that affected a number of people and infrastructure in Uganda, the YWP Webinar aims at proposing joint approaches among the young water, sanitation and environment professionals to manage the disasters while conserving the environment and coping with the "new normal", COVID-19.

Book a seat with us tomorrow Saturday, 6th June 2020 from 10am to 11am and make your voice count.

Young Water Professionals-Uganda and NWSC Gaba team participated in a clean up exercise of the shores of Lake Victoria on the 25/05/2020 in a bid to reduce pollution of the lake. Improper waste management poses potential threats to the environment, human life and increases the cost of water treatment. We encourage the public to properly dispose off their waste to protect our water sources, to protect the environment and in the long run mitigate climate change.
