Firstly water is definetely a public good and a natural resource, too bulky, finite, essencial, fugitive and very scarce. All of the charecteristics of water make it an economic good which then pose an elusive task in making it available to all, due to its charecters, unlike any other economic goods water cannot be tranported in bulk with vehicles like any other goods, it then raises a serious challenge of installation of pipes, canals, pumps and many more facilities to transport it, and all these require finances or revenue. A clear understanding of how water operates may help our people to realise the importance of valuing those who travel long distances to collect water for their families, it is only lack of knowledge about water which make the Ugandian Men abuse their women and accuse them of secretes affairs. We must just bare in mind that women are family managers and understands the value of water, which makes them the custodians of our families in relation to water, and it will then help if we forward them to manage our water resources because they are certainly attached to water and know how it feels to have no water at all. It is now the challenge of the government to establish workshops and arrange for different events which will assist the people at local areas to understand the challenges the government is facing and try and create peace, becuase without those women there is no water resources management and without good management people are prone to water related diseases and life is no more.
