4. Bakari is a young man who lives in rural Tanzania south of Dar es Salaam with his parents and siblings.
Growing up in this region Bakari is all too familiar with the water crisis. Only 50% of Tanzania's population
have access to safe water and only 34% have access to improved sanitation. Bakari's daily need for water was
like that of the millions of children around the world who often join their mothers for daily water collection.
They spend up to 200 million hours a day collecting water to carry home to their families.
5. Now a young man, Bakari recognized access to water as critical to achieving more in life. He learned of a way he could affordably solve
his own familyโs water crisis, and that of many of his neighbors. With a household income of a little more than $2USD a day, Bakari
budgeted a portion of that to repay a small, affordable loan made available to him by Water.orgโs partner in Tanzania. This loan for
800,000 Tanzanian Shillings (about $347USD) funded the construction of a water connection and pipe extensions to his home. A
reliable, lasting solution in place, Bakariโs family can get the water they need as they go about their days. And, when heโs not farming,
Bakari sells water to his village neighbors who shared his familyโs need to have access to water at home.
This in conjunction with the growing digital finance sector created a strong opportunity to partner with financial institutions to make
loans for water and sanitation available in Tanzania. With your support we can empower more young men like Bakari to solve their
familyโs water crisis and change their future.
Conclusion of The Story is that in many places of the world people are not getting water and suffering
from water scarcity, like the story of Bakari in Tanzania. So, from this story we can know that various
places are suffering from water scarcity.
7. Due to water scarcity people who did
not have clean water has given in the pie-chart.
8. States in India which has water scarcity in a very critical,
is given in the graph:
9. Water scarcity is the lack of sufficient available of water resources to meet the demands of water
usage with in a region. The reduction of water scarcity is a goal of many countries and governments.
Water scarity can be a result of two machanisms:1.physical water scarcity and
2.economic water scarcity.
1.Physical Water scarcity: it is a result of inadequate natural water resources to supply a regionโs
demand.
2.Economic Water scarcity :it is a result of poor water management of the sufficient available water
Resources.
10. Overuse of Water: Water overuse is a huge issue that a lot of people are
dealing with.
Pollution of Water: Water pollution is a huge problem, especially when
youโre looking at areas that donโt necessarily have a good sewage system.
Conflict: If there is conflict over an area of land, it may be difficult to
access the water that is located there.
Distance: There are a number of areas throughout the entire world that
deal with water scarcity because they just arenโt close to anywhere that has
water.
Drought: A drought is, in short, an area which is not getting enough
rainfall to be able to sustain the life that is residing there.
11. With nearly three-quarters of the earth covered in water, it would seem unlikely that there is
water scarcity at all. However, water scarcity does not have as much to do with the availability
of "any" water as it does with the availability of potable, or usable, water. With worldwide
water predominantly utilized for corporate consumption and less than 1% of available water
from fresh water sources (such as snowcaps or glaciers), according to the CDC, over 1 billion
people are currently forced to use water from hazardous resources for cooking, bathing and
consumption. Approximately half of this vulnerable population are children.
12. Economic water scarcity is caused by a lack of investment in water infrastructure or insufficient human
capacity to satisfy the demand of water in areas where the population cannot afford to use an adequate
source of water.
Symptoms of economic water scarcity include a lack of infrastructure, with people often having to fetch
water from rivers or lakes for domestic and agricultural uses (irrigation). Although much emphasis is
put on improving water sources for drinking and domestic purposes, evidence suggests that much more
water is used for other uses such as bathing, laundry, livestock and cleaning than for drinking and
cooking alone. This observation suggests that putting too much emphasis on drinking water needs
addresses an insignificant part of the problem of water resources and therefore limits the range of
solutions available.
Economic water scarcity:
13. Let us conclude that here after we should not waste and we should start to save
water for reducing the water scarcity.
