Flooding is an increasing problem in Kampala with the drainage system becoming overwhelmed by intensive rainstorms. This results in flooding of critical areas around Markets, industrial areas and neighbourhoods that are settled in floodplain areas. For this project the sub-catchments of Kinawataka and Nalukolong were selected to develop solutions for and strengthen the knowledge on flood resilience for the Greater Kampala area.
