Water Governance institute has been collecting soil and water samples from gold mining and processing points in Moroto and Mubende districts that will be tested in the laboratory for presence of mercury, cyanide, arsenic, lead and aluminium  as indicators of pollution. Results derived from these tests shall be shared with the relevant authorities at local and central government levels, and used for evidence based advocacy activities such as sensitizing relevant stakeholders on the negative social and environmental impacts of mining on communities and ways in which such impacts can be mitigated. - See more at: http://www.newvision.co.ug/new_vision/news/1449975/expedite-mining-law-policy-protect-local-communities#sthash.U7qG7X3r.dpuf
