Hi there and welcome to my blog created as part of a third-year module I’m undertaking-‘Water and
development in Africa’. Issues related to water such as water scarcity in Africa
are perhaps not unheard of to the layman. With climate change at the forefront
of a host of global issues we face today, and demographic change-specifically population
growth-placing increasing pressures on the world’s finite resources, the chronic
issue of providing safe water to the people in Africa is becoming increasingly
complex, with no straightforward solution in sight.
Therefore, in this blog, I seek to explore in
depth the links between environmental change (focusing on climate and land use
change) and water-related issues in Africa, through reflecting on relevant
articles on the issue. I will also be updating my blog regularly with current
news reports and interesting facts and statistics relevant to this area of
study!
Feel free to comment on my posts and I look forward to
learning about this issue in depth and breadth through the course of taking this
module, and hopefully beyond that! (:
