WATER SCARSITY
Problems differ from place to place and also lifestyle differ from place to place.vombe is a small village in the eastern part of Uganda. As most parts are blessed by lakes, this part did not get any.
The love for tour made me really experience a lot about this village and later decided to come up with ablog.
This village is about 40km from the trading centre.Most of the people in this part use bicycle transport to achieve what they want every evening in their trading centre.
The trading centre also looks like a village but people just utilize the place to sell their agricultural products.
These products include onions, tomatoes, green papers just ingredients.
The only water source around this region is on a primary school about 100km from vombe village.
Five year ago they used to have wells in the place which also dried up. This just come automatically due to the change in nature and also seasons in the place.
I got chance to speak with one of the people and he said that they usually get water from the nearby lake which is about 30km from the village.
I was surprised that most people move that long distance and also others use bicycles to get water.
They usually use their heads to carry jerrycans of water. The jerrycan is about 20litres.
As the city people complain of walking long distance, in vombe village it is compulsory because it is the only way of survival in that village
In my travel, I noticed many thing and also learnt different places in the country Uganda.
You can also join me in the love for travel.
Thanks for reading please.

There are four billion people worldwide who are affected by severe water scarcity for at least one month a year. That is the conclusion after many years’ extensive research. This alarming figure is much higher than was previously thought.
Water covers 70% of our planet, and it is anything but difficult to believe that it will dependably be abundant. In any case, freshwater—the stuff we savor, bathe, water our homestead fields with—is amazingly uncommon. Just 3% of the world's water is crisp water, and 66% of that is concealed in solidified icy masses or generally inaccessible for our utilization.
Accordingly, somewhere in the range of 1.1 billion individuals overall need access to water, and a sum of 2.7 billion discover water rare for no less than one month of the year. Insufficient sanitation is likewise an issue for 2.4 billion individuals—they are presented to sicknesses, for example, cholera and typhoid fever, and other water-borne diseases. Two million individuals, for the most part, beyond words year from diarrheal infections alone.
A significant number of the water frameworks that keep environments flourishing and nourish a developing human populace have turned out to be focused. Streams, lakes and aquifers are becoming scarce or ending up excessively dirtied, making it impossible to utilize. The greater part the world's wetlands have vanished. Farming devours more water than some other source and squanders quite a bit of that through wasteful aspects. Environmental change is adjusting examples of climate and water the world over, causing deficiencies and dry seasons in a few regions and surges in others.
At the present utilization rate, this circumstance will just deteriorate. By 2025, 66% of the total populace may confront water deficiencies. What's more, biological systems around the globe will endure significantly more.
