| dc.description.abstract | Objective: Kampala Industrial and Business Park (KIBP) is one of the premier and the most successful Ugandan indus‑
trial complexes that impact the inner Murchison bay of Lake Victoria. The current study aimed at evaluating the effect
of industrial effluents on the physicochemical and microbiological quality of water taken from four different sites
along Namanve stream in KIBP, Wakiso district, Uganda.
Results: All the water quality parameters were below WHO maximum permissible limits except turbidity, electrical
conductivity and Escherichia coli count. Mean values of the monitored water quality parameters increased from the
point of effluent discharge downstream of Namanve stream. | en_US |
