Conclusion

     Although desalination works very well and provides and endless supply of water, the building of the plant, desalination, and delivery are too expensive to be seriously considered to provide water for an entire continent. Similarly, reservoirs are great ways to collect and hold water but because they are unsanitary, too expensive, and will be very hard to actually fill with water they are not a viable solution to the problem. In contrast, wells are affordable and can support many people. They can also be made within a day and it would be very easy to teach native Africans to do the job, enabling them to continue without support from the outside.

     Rainwater catchment systems could be very helpful in fighting the water issue in Africa. This is because they are cheap and collect a large amount of water even when given short amounts of rainfall. However, it would be implausible to assume that an entire community would be able to live off of water provided by just these, and that is why they should be used in addition to wells. In order to make sure the water is clean, all of the water should be treated with the sanitation filter. The filter ensures that all water will be safe to drink and because it is so inexpensive and easy to make it is very practical to have all water sanitized this way. This issue of curing water scarcity in Africa quickly and efficiently is important to the United States and the World because it is our money and our labor that is going to help Africa out of this crisis, and the sooner we are done donating our funds and time, the sooner we will be back to living our normal lives.
