At the equator, you get to see water drainage differences. The movement and drainage of the water differ on both sides of the Earth; that is, the צְפוֹנִי ואת דְרוֹמִי hemispheres at the Equator line in the demonstration of the Coriolis effect. At the equator, showmanship is used to stimulate the water drainage effect. While in the northern hemisphere, the water will drain down the hole in a clockwise direction, yet it takes an anti-clockwise direction as it drains from the southern hemisphere down the hole.

Another demonstration to watch is by a local in the area on how water swirls in the opposite directions in the northern & southern hemispheres at the equator line. The other equator landmarks are located in Kasese district in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and a rather outstanding experience is at Kayabwe town in Mpigi district.

In the western region of Uganda, Mpigi District, Kayabwe Town, along the imaginary line of the equator, it is possible for you to stand with one of your feet in the Northern Hemisphere and the other in the Southern Hemisphere at this very point, which is an awe-inspiring experience to stand on both sides of the world. Also, the sun rises and sets rather quickly at the equator, and the people around the area experience only warm temperatures and tropical climates throughout the year, as well as equal lengths of day and night, and from this point it’s so hard to tell the difference between the seasons.
