Water is a finite resource on our planet. We can only rely on what we have, which translates to about 2.5% of drinkable fresh water. Of that amount, only 0.4% currently exists in lakes, rivers, and moisture in the atmosphere. The strain of this limited supply grows by the day and as this continues, the detrimental impact will continue to be felt in places least equipped to find alternative solutions — in particular, the African continent.
