The Potential of Nakivubo Swamp (Papyrus wetland) in Maintaining Water Quality of Inner Murchison Bay, Lake Victoria
Nakivubo swamp (papyrus wetland) is located in the south east of the city of Kampala. This swamp has been receiving waste water from Nakivubo channel for more than two decades. This investigation was aimed at monitoring the level of pollutants (nutrients and faecal coliforms) as the waste water filtrates through the swamp and the flow patterns of waste water through the swamp. From this preliminarily investigation it was feund out· that the waste. water is not evenly distributed over the swamp. Also high levels of pollutants seem to filtrate through th~swamp and enter Inner Murchison Bay Lake victoria. Further research is under way to investigate in more detail the capacity of Nakivubo swamp to remove nutrients / pollutants from waste water flowing through it and the dominant mechanisms / processes involved
