12. Expand Access to Clean Water World Bank Negawatt Challenge with KTH partner
Many people in Dar es Salaam lack reliable access to drinking water. Tap water itself is not safe to drink without boiling or treating first….
Some questions to consider when proposing a solution for this goal include:
How can we expand access to clean water?
How can we make water more affordable?

13. Improve operations and maintance of existing infrastructure
DAWASCO estimates that over half of the water it pumps is lost before reaching end users, which wastes both energy and water. How can we reduce water loss during distribution? How can we reduce theft of water? How can we keep storm drain intakes clear? How can we help communities report and fix broken water points?

14. How to achieve the SDG?
People are key to finding solutions to achieve SDG .
Who is better suited than graduates leaving universities?
They will need skills and passion
They will need a global network
