Context

The increase in population and the current rate and ever improving standard of living in Namibia, there is growing concern on whether the finite water resources will still be sustainable to all in the future. If climate change is brought into the mix, it seems apparent that countries like Namibia currently suffering water supply shortages will find it even more difficult to quench the thirst of their people. There is a limited level of water recycling technologies in Namibia, combined with high costs of water.
