Drivers Point to Growth In Africa’s Industrial Water Market
With multiple drivers for growth in the industrial market, the challenges for water in Africa are more around implementation than technology, says Walid Khoury general manager of Desalytics, as he prepares for Water Africa 2024 in Ghana in June. What are the main challenges for the water market in Africa? The challenge we see in Africa is on two fronts – of course the UN’s sustainable development goal 6 (SDG6) around proving sanitation and clean water to populations, but what is sometimes missed is significance of the industrial sector. If industrial production and manufacturing is not properly taken care of, you will have the population competing on water availability, but also water quality, because industrial clients can be polluting. As someone who has worked in the African market for

Saving Water Starts with You
For some people, water has never been a challenge in their day-to-day lives. This is mainly because they are living in communities where water is easily accessible. For them it’s simple – they turn on the tap and clean water just flows, every time, every day of the year. This makes it difficult for them to acknowledge the challenges experienced by people in other parts of the world when it comes to getting hold of a few drops of water – realizing the real value of water. In developing countries, people can only access water from flowing streams, many of which are sometimes contaminated, leading to water-borne diseases. The lack of quality water also endangers proper handling of human waste and sewage, resulting to stagnant, dirty water – a welcoming environment for mosquitoes and other
