Freshwater shortage(less than 1,000 m3/capita/year)
Freshwater stress(1,000 to 1,700 m3/capita/year)
Globally,renewable internal freshwater resource per
capita was around 6,000 m3in 2014.
Moreover,water availability,access
and optimal use in Africa are not
promising.Only 5%of Africa's
cultivated land is irrigated and less than 10%of hydropower
potential is utilized for electricity generation.
The reasons for water scarcity in Africa are complicated.

Growing population and urbanization have increased the domestic
and industrial water consumption,which can't be fully supported by
poor infrastructure
