    ASSESSING THE SUITABLITY OF A WASTEWATER EFFLUENT REUSE IN APPLICATION OF NON-POTABLE USE
    (Uganda Christian University, 2025-12-11) LOKWANG DOMINIC
    This project addresses the problem of high-quality potable water being used to carry out low quality tasks such as flushing in toilets and urinals by offering an affordable, yet environmentally friendly way of harnessing treated wastewater effluent for non-potable applications. This research aims to assess the raw quality (physicochemical and microbiological characteristics) of treated wastewater effluent from the UCU wastewater treatment plant and treat it with reference to how it complies with established reclaimed water standards for use in toilet and urinal flushing. Uganda ChristianUniversity (UCU) purchases large volumes of potable water from National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) on a monthly basis. This water is used to ensure smooth running university activities such as cleaning, cooking, drinking, and waste management. Studies show that about 20-40% of domestic water demand is consumed in toilet flushing and 50-70% of commercial water demand (Ilemobade et al., 2012)
