In a comparable manner an index for diversity of wetland utilization was created for each
household based on the number of various uses to which the household derived from the
wetlands. Options included irrigation, hunting, fishing, fuel wood and building/craft material
collection. (Since virtually every household collected water from the wetland for household use,
water collection was not considered a separate use.) The potential range of values is from zero to
four where four equals four or more uses.
The Distribution of the WDI across districts is shown in the table below. Clearly there were
significant differences in distribution across locations, with Nakasongola, Kaberamaido and
Kayunga exhibiting the least diversity of use and Kumi, Pallisa and Soroti exhibiting the most.
