“…Uganda's Vision 2040 is a long-term development plan that outlines the country's aspirations and goals for socioeconomic transformation by the year 2040 (Turyasingura et al 2023a(Turyasingura et al , 2023cBanerjee et al 2024). Providing universal access to clean drinking water for all Ugandans is one of Uganda Vision 2040 0 s main goals, which may be done through implementing CSA water management techniques.…”

“…To guarantee the long-term supply and quality of the water from Lake Mutanda, sustainable water management techniques should be put into place. To balance human demands with environmental sustainability, this involves actions like watershed protection, water resource strategy, and monitoring of water consumption (Turyasingura et al 2023a(Turyasingura et al , 2023c. However, there is a higher risk of pollution from several sources due to expanding agricultural activity and a growing population.…”

The aim of the study is to assess climate-smart water management practices for sustainable agriculture in the Lake Mutanda catchment area, Kisoro District, Uganda. The study was led by specific objectives, specifically: assessing the effects of flooding on agricultural productivity, and smallholder farmer's responses to rainfall variability for the past 20–30 years, investigating climate-smart water management practices for sustainable agriculture, and analyzing the seasonal variations of the physicochemical water quality parameters. The study used a mixed research design, which used mixed methodologies to collect and analyze data using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. A straightforward random sampling approach was used to determine the sample size. Three hundred and ninety-seven respondents participated in the study. Quantitative data was analyzed using the R programming language, and qualitative data was analyzed using ATLAS.ti. The study identified climate-smart water management practices like mulching, terracing, contour farming, conservation tillage, agroforestry, and fertilizer management. Most of the respondents (29.7%) cited a reduction in soil fertility. 57.9% of the total sampled respondents had noticed changes in rainfall variability, and 67.3% reported a decrease in rainfall. The majority (38% of the participants) use mulching to reduce running water into the catchment areas. Turbidity, temperature, and DO were beyond the WHO-permitted levels.
