South Africa Water
South Africa is a country that actually has really bad water problems. The estimate of people that are living in South Africa is 49 million.The people from South Africa also suffer from aids an hiv epidemics. In 2010 about 6 million people from South Africa died of aids.(Modern World History) Now water is a very big problem for the country, since many people migrate to South Africa the water crisis becomes more of a problem.Some of the reason why the water is so bad is because of the climate in the country. The lack of rain is also a big reason why the water is such a big problem.Dams are about 20 percent lower since 2010, other cities are trying to find ways in helping the communities that need water. Due to having water problem there has been reports about water that has actually been stolen, the water is usually given to illegal connections.
The reason why there is so much problems with water in Africa is because
the state does not finish their construction of dams or they don't make any construction of dams at all.Due to this, dams that had been started begin to break down.As a results a report showed that 5 million people had no way of receiving water , and worst 15 million people weren't able to sanitize themselves because of the lack of water.Although these numbers have improved there is still too many people in africa who have no access to water.
It was a surprise when South Africa installed one of the cleanest water system in the entire world, although they did this South Africa is still in great need of clean water.The Vaal River, is a popular river that attracks many tourist but unfortunely this river is begging to get contaminated.It so bad that a local agency has said that the river is in serious risk.Not only are rivers beeing affected due to the contamination of water,but wild life is also at risk .It has caused many fish to die living in this dirty water.The government is taking this seriously and will sentenced anyone for dumping waste on rivers.
The government should make this their priority because people are in need of clean water.This should be the states number one priority so that rivers,wildlife,and people are abel to survive.Unfortunely this will not change until the government take better care of their river,wildlife,and people by providing them clean water.By doing this it will not help the people,but it will also make South Africa a better country to live in and to visit.
