Drinking water in Africa: A paradox of scarcity and abundance
Africa is the continent with the largest surface, non-frozen water reserves—meaning that, in reality, there is enough water available for the population. This abundance is provided by rivers such as the Congo, Niger, and Nile, as well as the continent's nearly 700 lakes. Unfortunately, despite this impressive volume, the population is denied access to clean drinking water because germs and pathogens contaminate this vital resource. In rural regions, residents must also travel for miles on foot to reach clean water.
