Climate Talk Uganda with Josephine Karungi

About this Episode

Too much water. Too Little water. Water in all the wrong places, at the wrong times. That pretty much sums up global rainfall in the age of climate change. This week we explore the particular challenges we face in Uganda in adapting to unpredictable and extreme rainfall events. Joining us is Makerere University PhD candidate Judith Kobusinge, who shares her knowledge of the water cycle, how it's disrupted by a rapidly changing climate, and how various types of irrigation can help to alleviate disruptions caused by water scarcity.

If you want to know more about how crop yields may be affected by climate change, you can find the Hannah Ritchie article that we refer to below. It's fascinating.
