Borehole repair data from central Uganda associated with a project report completed by Joseph Lwere for the “data science for openwashdata” course
# ugabore
The goal of `ugabore` is to provide users with documentation on borehole
repair data collected from two districts in central Uganda where a
borehole operation and maintenance program is run. The dataset is
associated with the following project
report completed by
Joseph Lwere for the “data science for openwashdata”
course offered by
openwashdata.org.
## Installation
You can install the development version of ugabore from
GitHub with:
``` r
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("openwashdata/ugabore")
```
Alternatively, you can download the individual datasets as a CSV or XLSX
file from the table below.

## Project goal
Boreholes are the main technology used to access groundwater in Uganda,
according to (Owor et al. 2022), and they are also a source of drinking
water for households in rural communities in Africa, including Uganda
(Lapworth et al. 2020). Therefore, it is crucial to have good quality
data to inform decision-making and planning. This project examines data
collected from two districts in central Uganda where a borehole
operation and maintenance program is run. As professional operation and
maintenance is considered the future for borehole functionality in
Uganda (Smith, Ongom, and Davis 2023), this project report offers more
insights into research on this topic.
## Data
The dataset includes information about borehole repair records used by
the borehole operation and maintenance company operating in central
Uganda. The package provides access to one dataset.
