surface-water sources (from the Nabijo, Nabiyonga, and Namatala Rivers), groundwater from a local well (at this stage only for cluster 5 due to lack of information), and greywater recycling for 75 percent of the population. Schematic presentation of the water supply and sanitation in Cluster 5 (as a typical example of the new clusters) is shown in Figure 4.8.5 The steps identified in the road map for implementation of the strategy were: acquire key information, create stakeholder platform, identify project champion, and design and develop demonstrations. The case studies carried out are only an initial step. It is important to recognize that

The top left-hand corner figure shows the existing built-up area M6 in dark grey and the proposed development cluster M5 in light grey. Technologies used in water management 1 (WM-1) were DEWATS with SAT and a conventional treatment unit (or with advanced treatment); and technology used in WM-2 was DEWATS for blackwater treatment. Equivalent annual cost of proposed technologies is US$335,407. ha = hectares; m3/d = cubic meters per day.
