Africa's Water pollution

By Omari Lott

How?

How Water pollution started

There are numerous reason behind the widespread water pollution in Africa- right from the poor human waste management to the industrial dumping.Africa has the advantage of producing some of the most precious minerals, not easily found in many other parts of the world.While this might sound good for the continent, the process of mining these minerals contributes to water pollution. This is because the poorly managed process leads to the introduction of harmful substances into the water.

I wonder?

How can water pollution can affect Africa

Now that you know the leading causes of water pollution in the world’s second largest (and second most populous- with a population of 1.216 billion people) continent, you might be wondering how this situation affects the inhabitants

Hmmmm?

The solution is surprisingly simple and inexpensive. Long-lasting water projects can be built in communities for relatively small amounts of money.These water projects include wells, dams and rain catchment systems, which provide a reliable source of water that is safe to drink. It is not just the practical systems being implemented that make a difference, though. Providing training in hygiene ensures that the water and the village remain clean and healthy.These water projects are not expensive to set up and the impact that they have on a community, and the individuals within the community, are priceless. Having a well in or close to the village means that there is no need for anyone to spend their days walking to collect water. This means that the 440 million days that are missed by school children because of water related diseases can be spent gaining an education. More importantly, the choice between dehydration and sickness is no longer a daily decision.
