Water Law, Water Rights and Water Supply (Africa), The scoping study on Water law/rights and domestic water supply and sanitation provision in Africa has been undertaken in five African countries namely Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia,
Mozambique and Ghana. The study was co-ordinated by the Water Management Group
(Natural Resources Management Department) of Cranfield University, Silsoe, United
Kingdom, in collaboration with the Water Law and Policy Programme of the University of
Dundee, Scotland. The purpose of the study is to identify the constraints and enabling conditions provided by
existing water and sanitation laws (statutory and customary) with regard to the people with low-income receiving
or having access to a safe and reliable supply of water and good sanitation. The focus is on
the rural people with low-income who currently form the biggest percentage of the people with low-income in Uganda.
