Water covers about 71% of Earth's surface. 💧 Freshwater accounts for only 3% of the available water. ❄️ Glaciers & ice caps that have frozen over account for approximately two-thirds of the freshwater. 🌍 Groundwater and surface water account for the remaining small amount.

#Journalism ⬇️This is partly why we have developed a Journalists' Sourcebook for Reporting the Nile Basin, funded by @CIWAprogram/WorldBank. We hope it will re-position journalism in the Basin & beyond for solutions on environment, climate & transboundary water.

#NileCooperation 1 big challenge in Nile Basin is a dearth of data on water quality. Despite ever increasing #Pollution & decline in water quality. Wednesday 11th was Burundi’s turn to acquire modern equipment from NBI, funded by @CIWAprogram to enhance WQ data collection & use.

Dr Jean Namugize, NBI's regional #WaterQuality expert, shows the sediment sampler. Real-time river & lake monitoring of any kind is extremely important for informing water, environment analysts, experts and decision makers. Even researchers & students. #NileCooperarion

#BeatPlasticPollution “When waste, especially plastics, accumulates in water bodies, it leads to the growth of algae and water hyacinths, which reduce oxygen levels in the water. As a result, aquatic life may die or decrease significantly.” Full story⤵️ theforefrontmagazine.com/the-hidden-cos…
