COVID-19, climate change aggravate water scarcity in Nile Basin
Format
A new
interactive map has shown how water scarcity in the Nile Basin is compounded in times of COVID-19 and climate change.
The map was produced by a collaborative group of journalists in the Nile Basin, including some from Vision Group, under their InfoNile network.
The interactive map pinpoints the areas most vulnerable to changing rainfall and runoff patterns - factors that contribute to droughts and floods - and those that are already facing water scarcity.
Vulnerable communities are even more at risk when faced with droughts and floods that destroy water and sanitation infrastructure.
