Mining at Katwe Salt Lake, Queen Elizabeth NP.
"Mining at Katwe Salt Lake, QENP. Uganda" Katwe salt production. Paid a visit to Katwe salt lake this morning and learnt a lot about salt mining at the lake. Lake Katwe is located in Western Uganda, Kasese district- and lies on the bottom of Albertine, the western arm of the Great East African rift valley. The water in this lake is 60% salty. The region is semi-arid and the soil doesn’t favor agricultural activities and therefore the major economic activity here is salt mining. Katwe salt industry is the main source
