Management

Dr. Denis Byamukama has more than 10 years experience in water resource management. He is a water quality specialist and his PhD (2004) was on the evaluation of standard methods for water and wastewater analysis and monitoring in developing countries. I am currently a lecturer in the faculty of Science at Makerere, East Africa's oldest University.

I lecture, in among other fields, Environmental Health where a number of topics to do with water and sanitation are addressed. He is also a Partner in WSS Services (U) Ltd, a private company engaged in water management in Uganda. He worked with the previous executive Committee as general Secretary.

thus the recognition of Private Sector in the water supply business. My dream would be to see this idea successfully duplicated to the rest of Africa, to serve our brothers and sisters suffering with lack of water. Fellow Operators, the struggle continues so take heart and work even harder, we have a big role to play in the achievement of the MDG’s.
