🚰 Why do African countries depend on international donors to fix water issues? With better policies & management, Africa’s vast water resources could sustain its people. Stop outsourcing solutions—govern and lead! #WorldWaterDay #WaterForAll

🌊 African water laws exist on paper but not in reality. Corrupt officials divert funds meant for water infrastructure, leaving communities with dry taps. Policy without action is just a lie! #WorldWaterDay #EndWaterCorruption

💦 Africa’s leaders meet at global summits to “discuss” water security—yet millions still lack access. Where are the tangible policies? Where is the accountability? We need implementation, not endless conversations. #WorldWaterDay #WaterCrisis

🏛️ Water policies in Africa favor corporations, not citizens. Governments are selling public water rights to private companies, making clean water expensive and inaccessible. When will we stop monetizing a basic human right? #WorldWaterDay #WaterForPeople

🚱 African water policies are broken. Many countries have no clear strategy for climate resilience, rural access, or water conservation. Without bold reforms, the next war won’t be over oil—it’ll be over water. #WorldWaterDay #ActForWater

Access to water is a right - on #WorldWaterDay and every day. Yet nearly 1 in 3 people in the EU face water stress.
The European Parliament has updated rules to improve the quality of tap water and encourage reuse of treated wastewater to help prevent scarcity.

Today is World Water Day. 🧪🐡Hosted by the UN, it’s a day to spur action on the world water crisis. Water is one thing none of us can live without. Access to clean water should be a human right, and something we guarantee in the environment for other life forms. 🧵1/

This #WorldWaterDay, it's important to talk about the many communities, majority being on Indigenous reservations, that do not have clean water or proper water filtration infrastructure set up.

Israeli attacks on Gaza have rendered about 85% of the besieged enclave’s water and sanitation facilities fully or partially inoperative.
As a result, Gaza's water supply has fallen by 65%, according to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics. #WorldWaterDay.

🌍 Why do African leaders prioritize mega-projects over sustainable water policies? Billions are poured into dams & pipelines, yet rural communities still rely on unsafe wells. We need policies that serve people, not profits! #WorldWaterDay #WaterForAll
