Rainwater draining through a street grate during heavy rain

Kampala Smart Flood Resilient System

The Challenge

Urban flooding without warning

Kampala faces recurring urban flooding, drainage pressure, and a lack of real-time information to warn residents and guide response before floodwaters rise.

The System

An integrated response

The Kampala Smart Flood Resilient System (KSFRS) is an integrated urban flood-risk monitoring, response, drainage, waste-control, and stormwater-reuse concept, currently under development. It combines:

  • Rainfall intelligence and water-level monitoring
  • Public alerts
  • Drainage and pumping controls
  • Stormwater conveyance
  • Treatment and potential reuse

Get Involved

We’re seeking technical partners, government collaboration, and funding to pilot KSFRS in priority flood-risk areas.
