This article investigates the reasons householders do, and don't, adopt domestic rainwater harvesting (DRWH). Using a mixedmethods research approach, we collected data in three districts in central Uganda. Factors that emerged as important with respect to uptake of DWRH to address water shortage, especially at the household scale, include the work of intermediary organizations, finance mechanisms, life course dynamics and land tenure.
