In Africa

Africa has a water problems because of water sanitation, climate change and lack of tools.

Hundreds of millions of children do not attend school because of ill health, lack of sanitation facilities, or the amount of time they spend fetching water for their communities. (Kelly Morris)P954.

-Poor sanitation facilities often lead to health problems. -without the proper water treatment facilities people will continue to get sick.

Scientists have recognized for a long time that billions of people do not have access to freshwater for drinking and sanitation. (Matthys Levy)P 67.

People often use the same watering hole that they use for the livestock for themselves.

-Water related illness go down. -school attendance goes up.

With climate change it brings a lot of hardship to Africa. Drought. Lost of livestock. Food shortage.

 Shortages in supply, uncertain changes in replenishment rates for surface water and groundwater, and deterioration of quality that reduces both usability and health safety issues are expected to soar. (Nkem, Munang, Jallow)P14.

Drought is one of the leading causes in water shortage in Africa. Rivers dry up and fishes die. It causes people to move miles away. William Graf, says “It used to be we had wide open rivers,” (as cited by Rayl) NP

People in sub- Sahara Africa rely on their livestock. With out water livestock can not survive, and without livestock people can not live.

As the climate changes the food prices rise. Without water farmers can’t grow their crops.

With out the proper tools to get water and clean it, Africa's water problem continues to rise. Like this water treatment facility.

Without water facilities people are forced to dick holes themselves to find water. The UN suggests that each person needs liters of water a day to ensure their basic needs for drinking, cooking and cleaning. (WWAP)NP
