This is in line with the holding in Yaounde, the greatest sporting student event

The 18th edition of the University Games has come to an end at the University of Yaounde I, which brought together more than 2,300 athletes from about 19 institutions of higher learning. Compare to previous editions, innovations have been made this year by partner organizations. Such is the case with the gigantic social action by AURA CAMEROON LLC which provided 50,000 liters

The 6th World Water Forum concluded recently in Marseille, France and generated a great deal of interest among policy makers, governments, development agencies and civil society. However, older people's concerns about current water crises, how they are affected and their potential contributions were side-lined.

Global Water Partnership (GWP) launched a campaign on February 2, 2015 to maintain a dedicated water goal on the UN post-2015 development agenda.

Countries are currently negotiating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of the United Nations Post-2015 Development Agenda. The SDGs will replace the current eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which expire this year.

The UN General Assembly, on September 8, 2014, adopted a framework for the SDGs which includes Goal n^o 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.

The continent has significant water resources. However it lacks distribution and sanitation infrastructure that would allow people to access clean water. Paradox expressed via this map.

In the basement, the African continent has 660,000 cubic kilometers of water supplies. This resource is one hundred times the amount of water on the surface. Yet, 330 million Africans, 40% of the population lack

The world is already experiencing water scarcity driven by over-use, poor land management and climate change, writes Nafeez Ahmed. It's one of the causes of wars and terrorism in the Middle East and beyond, and if we fail to respond to the warnings before us, major food and power shortages will soon afflict large parts of the globe fuelling hunger, insecurity and conflict.

Water security is under threat in many urban towns. The very nature of urbanization contributes to water stress: rapid population growth, poor or no waste water management and pollution, competing demands from various sectors of activity, and more frequent water related disasters induced by climate change. Urban growth in Africa is one of the highest in the world, and the urban population is expected to be around 60 % by 2050. It poses not only a major challenge to existing and potentially future urban centres and existing planning and management of water systems has proven to be insufficient.

Water has become a sensitive and complex issue whereas it is supposed to be an open resource for all without distinction. This is a natural right of the people and the duty of politicians to answer that right. Why a severe water crisis in Africa? So what are the solutions to provide access to safe drinking water to all the people of Africa?

Water consumption is one of the major challenges for the future of humanity. Scientists are studying this issue to one side, to reduce consumption, but also with a view to finding new ways to treat non-potable water to purify it.

Bill Gates is very involved in the recent years in humanitarian and scientific fields, and spends much of his fortune to improve the human condition. Last coup for Microsoft founder, tasting of water drawn from the transformation of human waste.
