How do people in Africa get their water?

Answer 1

There are various factors that contribute to thedirtiness of the water in the more-deprived areas of Africa. The two main factors are lack of cleaning facilities and lack of water transport. As there are no pipes (due to money factors), the only way to get water is straight from a well. This, in turn, creates dirty water.

Answer 2

Answer 4

Africa does not have clean water because it has been impoverished by imperialists for centuries and almost all the resources there now belong to wealthy capitalists, who have plenty of clean water.

Answer 5

If you want the textbook answer to this question, it is quite simple. There are many factors such as deforestation, desertification and irrigation. We can also take into account that the fresh water supply of the entire world is less that 1% and even so , most of that 1% are in glaciers.

If we are specifically talking about Africa, then there is so much more than what science can tell, there is a lot of politics and corruption in some countries that we cannot even begin to understand. Political leaders do not care for thepeople and are out to comfort themselves. Can we get clean water to those who need it? yes! Will the powers of the world allow it? You answer that.

Answer 6

"Clean" water is difficult to find anywhere; it takes technology to produce and transport a large volume of drinkable water. It takes a lot of water to allow many people to live together, so water is a primary factory in forming a city, and the word "civilization" comes from the Latin word for "city".

The first known "civilizations" were Egypt and Babylon; both were empires based on control of the main river. For Egypt, this is the Nile; for Babylon, it's the Tigris and the Euphrates.

In Africa, some of the North African nations such as Egypt, Morocco or Algiers have passably decent water systems. South Africa still maintains a fair level of civilization, but in central Africa, water supplies are one of the primary causes of illness and disease.
