Localtalks 03.22 - Green Water Solutions

Localtalks 03.22 was a webinar about alternative rainwater and wastewater technologies in Uganda. The two part discussion was led by different speakers. To begin with, Allan Semakula, Head of Building Services at Localworks, gave a presentation focused on biodigesters - an eco-friendly wastewater and sewerage management system. He explained the workings of the system alongside practical built examples from different Localworks’ projects. Various failures and successes observed with biodigesters were also shared. Following this, David Wituszynski from Engineering Ministries International-Uganda (EMI) gave a brief overview of rainwater harvesting. He then shared recent EMI rainwater harvesting projects and the trials encountered undertaking them. Finally, he presented findings from a series of first flush configurations. A question and answer session open to all attendees concluded the event.
