The Ministry of Water and Environment in Uganda and the Austrian Development Agency have initiated the development of a web-based solution to improve the accuracy and reliability of information on rural water schemes. Access to a safe water supply is one of the basic human rights, and too many Ugandan citizens still do not have safe and easy access to water.
GeoCodis and its partner in Uganda, We Consult, are developing a web-based Utility Performance Monitoring and Information System (UPMIS) which uses internet connected technologies like smartphones and network computers.
UPMIS is becoming an important tool for collecting data about the conditions of water schemes and their monthly operations using SMS, mobile phone or web formats. UPMIS is a high performance monitoring, reporting and analytical solution for use at a regulatory, operational or utility level.
