Water Quality: a GLOBAL issue
• More than 1 Billion without access to safe water
• 20-50 liters for basic needs per person –
• 894 million or 1/6 people without access to this amount of water
World Water Assessment Programe (WWAP)

Our thought
• As a serious global issue, water quality is often overlooked. As a humanity, a clear focus must be put into improving the quality of water around the globe, exclusively in Kenya.
• Cholera is dangerous because many people in African countries have limited ways of determining if their drinking water is safe to consume.

Water Source• "From the stream people fetch drinking water and for
the livestock and store in small containers and tanks which is then ready for use." - Marcela Mwawasi
• "They dig shallow wells... At the height of drought like now, most of these wells dry up and so people move for several kms to fetch water." -Danson

Disrupting the water cycle
• Depletion of aquifers• Reduction of rivers
and lakes• Meaning next time
there will be less surface water
• Contamination of ground water
