Title: Introduction to Water Resources of Sub-Saharan Africa

Introduction:
Water is imperative in the sustenance and transformation of living and non-livings 
things and hence a key component of ecosystems. It is one of the basic indicators of 
health and well-being of a society and development in a country (Dinka 2018). The 
importance of water is however valid if it is available in secure and safe levels (Falkenmark 2020). Without meeting the pre-conditions, the resource could be disastrous to 
human and environmental health. Poor quality water is a potential threat to human 
health and productivity (Mpenyana-Monyatsi and Momba 2012). For instance, water 
borne diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, typhoid, hepatitis, giardiasis, amebiasis, 
scabies, campylobacteriosis, gastroenteritis, and worm infections are linked to lack 
of safe and secure water access. Africa and mainly sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has the 
majority share of waterborne disease cases globally at 53%, which stems from transmissions through contaminated and unsafe drinking water (Mutono et al. 2020). The
diseases have a high capacity to cause mortalities and re-channel finances meant for 
other economic benefits to the health sector. Fuente et al. (2020) reported that more 
than 2 million children die in the SSA region due to consumption of unsafe drinking 
water resulting to waterborne diseases. In the region, only 46% of the populace has 
got access to safe drinking water (Dinka 2018). Therefore, provision of adequate 
supply of safe and quality water sustainably is a key determinant, which life depends 
on. In addition to the health effects of lack of adequate water supply to human health, 
negative economic effects emanating from lost working and learning time to look for 
safe water are incurred. Projections up to 2050 showed that SSA region will continue 
to experience the economic losses of time spent for water collection unless remedial 
measures on sustainable water management are put in place (Fuente et al. 2020). 
Consequently, the global goal to avail water to all populations sustainably remains 
a top priority with concern being raised in regions threatened by unsafe, unreliable 
and short-term water availability. The sustainable development goals (SDGs), whose 
foundation is the millennium development goals (MDGs) also emphasize the need 
for universal access to water. The quantities of the water should be adequate to meet 
population needs and its quality should be high to ensure enhanced health effec
