- Publication 7 September 2022 Frequently Asked Questions on Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting - Catalogue Despite abundant rainfall occurring in two seasons per year in most of Uganda, and over 70% of houses with hard roof surface across the country, the adoption of rooftop rainwater harvesting (RRWH) technology is very low. Very few houses have provisions for channelling and storing rainwater for future use. This is owing to limited awareness, information gaps about the tech-nology, cost, and lack of incentives. To address some of these limitations, several initiatives towards accelerat-ing the…

It does so because countries are giving increasing attention to where they need to be in 2025, 2030 and beyond. Furthermore, this year’s update of the report benefits from the findings on the emissions budget from the latest series…
