Uganda: Proportion of Rural Subcounty Population with Safe Drinking Water Coverage, 2008

Credit:

International boundaries (NIMA, 1997), district administrative boundaries (UBOS, 2006b), subcounty administrative boundaries (UBOS, 2002a), water bodies (NFA, 1996; NIMA, 1997; Brakenridge et al., 2006), and rural safe drinking water coverage rate (DWD, 2008)

This map shows the proportion of the rural subcounty population with safe drinking water coverage. The brown areas represent low percentages of safe drinking water coverage (less than or equal to 20 percent of the rural subcounty population), while subcounties in shades of turquoise have the highest share of safe drinking water coverage.
