WATER IN AFRICA

Water Pollution in Africa

The 80 % of the water in Africa is contaminated because of the factories and the mining industries that use mercury for extracting the gold and also because of the chemical waste they throw away in rivers and lakes.
  


 In Africa 30.000 people die daily because they don't have access to clean water and they die because of sicknesses like dysentery and diarrhoea and the 90% of that 30.000 are children of five years old.





 Other problem is that the lack of hygienic conditions where people can throw their wastes because there aren't bins provided in the cities and people have to dispose of the garbage in the streets and this brings a lot of bacteria and diseases
