Editor's Notes
- Zimbabwe has 15 million people in total. The capital Harare city council was setup in 1950 pre-independence; systems were designed for 300000 people. Water and energy systems currently cater for 40 percent of the city’s 4.5 million population. 67.7 percent of people live in rural areas, in dry seasons people walk around 10km for drinking water.
- Section 77 of Zimbabwe’s 2013 constitution focuses on water and electricity. In the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, SDG6 and SDG7 are essential for socio-economic development and meet the objective of SDG1, eradicating poverty, pivotal to human development. Zimbabwe has insufficient clean water and energy.
- We propose water-exploration, borehole-drilling in urban and rural areas. Supplying multiple access solar-powered water systems eases water-supply. Community engagement in construction, outreach of materials nationally and from neighbouring countries ensures circular-sustainability.
- Solar-energy lighting in schools and public spaces; use of solar on geysers for domestic and commercial use has been achieved. Installation of solar-powered boreholes for domestic consumption and supply of solar-powered water systems for farming is ongoing.
- Sustainable management of water resources; increased access to clean water ensures water-use meets current and future socio-economical/ecological demand. Construction of Blair toilets in rural areas; sewer maintenance in urban areas ensures water resources are not exposed to defecation. With recognition and services supplied to outreached Unit bodies, we anticipate investment in solar and water services. This will ensure a higher percentage of people have food, clean energy; relieving poverty, deforestation and air pollution. Further outreach is projected to spread across Africa.
