Water scarcity or lack of safe drinking water is one of the major problems faced by Africa as one third still lack the access to safe drinking water. An average African family uses five gallons a day.The Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation set up by World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children s Fund (UNICEF) defines safe drinking water as water with microbial, chemical and physical characteristics that meets WHO guidelines or national standards on drinking water quality .The Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) estimates that in Sub-Saharan Africa, treatment of diarrhoea due to water contamination consumes 12 percent of the country s health budget. With better water conditions, the burden on healthcare would be less and a healthier workforce would stimulate economic growth and pull many people out of poverty.
