Water for Peace
With increasing water interruptions in a number of municipalities in South Africa, the risk of being infected of water-borne diseases is increasing. While the water in our pipes is safe to drink. There are situations where diseases can creep into the system, making it temporarily unsafe for drinking purposes, says Professor Craig Sheridan, director of Wits:H2O in the School of Geography, Archaeology and Environmental Studies at Wits University.
