1/2. Regarding #MSDS , @JMafume, how will HCC help residents, especially those on private boreholes, detect and prevent contamination?

[Sustainable Water International @SustainWaterInt]

Many people sink boreholes to evade shortages of potable water in #Zimbabwean cities. However, most of these boreholes are not tested and monitored for E. coli contamination.

1/3. "Proper management of a borehole is as important as the borehole itself. Our area is hot and dry, and this borehole serves more than five villages.

[Sustainable Water International @SustainWaterInt]

2/3. We must maintain it, keep its surroundings clean and secure, and manage its usage. Others run dry from as early as September, leaving people without enough to drink, let alone water their gardens and livestock. Other boreholes are broken, and some are difficult to use.

🌊 9 out of 10 disasters are water-related, and water-related disaster deaths have doubled in the past decade. These aren't "natural disasters" - they can be avoided through human decisions.

Educating subsistence farmers in Chaseyama, Zimbabwe on the impact of wetland and streambank cultivation on local water resources and biodiversity.

[Sustainable Water International @SustainWaterInt]

Farmers in Save Valley, Zimbabwe, had poor harvests due to waterlogging and pre-harvest sprouting. Affected areas include Kondo, Checheche, Chinyamukwakwa, Chisumbanje, and Garahwa.

[Sustainable Water International @SustainWaterInt]

Since 99 dams in Zimbabwe are ≥99.9% full, it is important for stakeholders to continue monitoring rising levels, to consider disaster prevention & mitigation strategies, & to devise effective water utilization and treatment methods for nearby communities.

#WorldHealthDay reminder: a healthy planet is the foundation of our health.

Forests clean the air we breathe. Oceans provide food and regulate the climate. Soils grow what we eat. Freshwater sustains life.

Protecting ecosystems means protecting people.

Excessive rainfall in Mwenezi, Chivi, and Chiredzi - Zimbabwe's driest areas - and other parts of the country resulted in farmers experiencing pre-harvest sprouting.

Communities in Chiredzi, Zimbabwe, reported receiving huge amounts of floodwater from Runde river after Palawani dam in Zvishavane was opened to release excess water a few days ago.

Food waste costs the world US$1 trillion annually. Preventing it lowers demand for water, land, labour, and energy required to produce food. Individuals are critical in this since 60% of food is wasted within households.
