African Water Crises
- Millions of poor African
families desperately need clean water, hiking miles to fetch it or buying
exorbitantly priced bottled water, even as wealthy Africans wash their cars
and water their lawns. Many slum dwellers steal water from pipelines.
- For example, girls who traditionally fetch water cannot attend school
during the hours they spend each day toting heavy containers. With no chance
to get an education, these girls will have little chance of escaping
poverty

Sahel Drought
- the Sahel
region came to represent what Claude Raynaut called "the quintessence of
a major environmental emergency" following major episodes of drought and
food shortages in the 1970s.
- The Sahel forms the southern edge of the Saharan desert, passing
at least 4,500km from Senegal through Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger,
and Chad, and blends seamlessly into the slightly less arid Sudano-Sahel
belt to its southern edge.
