Abstract

Water treatment facilities are critical for ensuring safe drinking water in Uganda, but their adoption rates have been inconsistent over time. A time-series forecasting model was developed using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) methodology, incorporating seasonal adjustments and trend components for accurate predictions. The ARIMA model showed a significant positive correlation with actual adoption rates over the study period, with an R-squared value of 0.85 indicating high explanatory power. The time-series forecasting model provides valuable insights into future water treatment facility adoption trends in Uganda. Policy makers should use this model to inform strategic planning and resource allocation for water infrastructure development.
