According to the Ministry of Health, in 2006 97% had access to potable water and also 97% had access to at least basic sanitation. WHO's and UNICEF's Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) estimates access to improved water supply in 2004 at 97% in urban areas and 82% in rural areas, while access to improved sanitation was 75% in urban areas and 50% in rural areas.
Water issues in developing countries include scarcity of drinking water, poor infrastructure for water and sanitation access, water pollution, and low levels of water security. Over one billion people in developing countries have inadequate access to clean water. The main barriers to addressing water problems in developing nations include ...
Access. In 2015, 75 percent of Senegal's population had access to at least one basic water source and 48 percent had access to basic sanitation. There is a significant difference between water supply in urban areas (91-percent access) and rural areas (63 percent). [1] Sanitation access rates also differ significantly between urban and rural ...
The treated potable water will then be distributed to (a) Masaka City and environs (b) Mbarara City and environs and (c) Isingiro City and surrounding rural communities. This project is affiliated with another ongoing government undertaking by the same ministry; the Isingiro Water Supply and Sanitation Project. The Kagera River will serve as ...
