[Photo, Courtesy] Water scarcity affects more than 40 percent of people globally, an alarming figure that is projected to rise as temperatures do. Although 2.1 billion people have improved water sanitation since 1990, dwindling drinking water supplies are affecting every continent. A water mapping exercise conducted by SNV Netherlands Development Organisation – a not-for-profit international development organisation helping poor communities raise incomes and access basic services-  in 2014 revealed that almost 1/3 of rural water systems are dysfunctional at any given time and 2/3 of rural water systems malfunction within 3-5 years post-construction.
