Water in Africa is an important issue encompassing the sources, distribution and economic uses of the water resources on the continent. Overall, Africa has about 9% of the world's fresh water resources and 16% of the world's population. Among its rivers are the Congo, Nile, Zambezi, Niger and Lake Victoria, considered the world’s second largest lake. Yet the continent is the second driest in the world, with millions of Africans still suffering from water shortages throughout the year.Health
Improving Health in Africa is directly related to the use of an improved water source which contributes in reducing water-born diseases.According to the World Health Organization (WHO)'s strategy for 2018–2025, the inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene have caused 842,000 diarrhea deaths in 2012, and deaths from several other diseases especially in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Cholera remains endemic in more than 47 countries, with an estimated 40–80 million people in Africa living in cholera hotspots.
The Agenda 21 adopted by the United Nations with regard to sustainable development the Earth Summit (UN Conference on Environment and Development) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992 aims at assessing the consequences which people have on the environment to support measures aimed especially at controlling water borne diseases.
According to the WHO report, contaminated water can not only transmit diseases such diarrhea but also cholera, dysentery, typhoid and polio.
