I understand the challenges of access to water resources that African Nations are still faced with in the 21st Century. I also read the background document and the points clearly stated portrays huge untapped potentials. Nonetheless, rainfall in Africa is still an untapped resource and in my opinion and across my sphere of research, Africa can be guided towards utilising the over 2500mm MAR in some regions before diving into finite groundwater resources. In the absence of this, unlocking access to poor -and the not so poor is a catastrophe looming when the tragedy of the commons takes stage.

Good said Amali, although still its a palliative; the real solution is the wastewater purification as is the trend in developed countries (e.i. watereuse.org).

Consider our technology as an integrated solution to SDG#6 letting purify any kind and flow of wastewater into potable with zero emissions to air/soil/water (no brine), 95% minimum efficiency and low operating costs between another sustainable and economical advantages.
