Water, an increasingly dear resource in Uganda

The video discusses the severe pollution problem in Kampala, Uganda, where an open sewer runs through the city, significantly affecting residents by increasing water costs. The untreated waste flows into Lake Victoria, the main water source for the city, exacerbating pollution. Andrew Mwezi, a chief engineer, highlights the rising costs and challenges of treating polluted water due to increased human settlements and industrial waste. The video warns of dire consequences if pollution is not addressed, affecting over 30 million people relying on the lake for water and fish.
