Technology developed in Donegal is helping to provide clean drinking water in Uganda and could be rolled out to other countries next year.

Since 2019, researchers at the Atlantic Technological University (ATU) in Letterkenny have been working on a smart sensor to detect faults in the handpumps being used in boreholes in rural Uganda.
