Hello everyone, I am really sorry for the late report, I had some unavoidable personal problems.

Water Pollution is a critical health and environmental issue just recently getting awareness in Ethiopia. Ethiopia as most know is a very fertile and naturally blessed country with many water bodies.

Generally, the concern of water pollution is the contamination of water bodies.  Unlike most industries areas in other parts of the world the large percent of contamination of water bodies in Ethiopia doesn?t come from industrial waste , rather the human sewage and trash are what contaminate the water bodies.

Recently, after many cases of health problems due to consumption of contaminated water, the authorities have started to take measures to clean up the water sources for civilians. One measure is that authorities have made powdered chemicals that clear the water of harmful substances when apply easily available for civilians. Secondly, the water supply pipes and systems seem to have been fixed as there was a recent cut of water supply for a short time due to repairs and improvements.

All in all, the concept of clean water is one that has been starting just recently and is seeing some helpful contributions to the betterment of the national water sources. However, water sources that are not used for consumption are still not given as equal attention as deserved and needed.
