Abstract
Water pollution is a serious problem for the entire world. It threatens the health and well
being of humans, plants, and animals. As the world became more industrial and smaller
due to communications and trade, accidental and purposive hazardous dumping have
contributed to the problem of sources of water pollution. All water pollution is dangerous
to the health of living organisms, but springs and borehole pollution can be especially
detrimental to the health of humans. Springs and boreholes are used as primary sources of
portable water by populations all over katwe and kisenyi. Another serious consequence of
this pollution is the effect of this pollution on the health of the people in this areas. This
reseach examines cases which reflect different causes of springs and borehole pollution,
the effect of this pollution on health of the residents, and a possible solution to this
problems
