Gaborone — Botswana Institute for Development Policy Analysis (BIDPA) representative, Dr Pelotshweu Moepeng has said the increased scarcity of portable water in the south could lead to increased risk of poverty and vulnerability to diseases. Speaking at the Non-Governmental Organization poverty eradication strategy workshop, Dr Moepeng said considerations to use treated waste water require the existence of advocacy groups that would ensure that water from such sources are in good condition. He further said climate change has implications on amounts of rainfall, their timing and rising temperatures and that can also increase vulnerability hence the need for advocacy to mitigate immediate challenges that can cause extreme hardships. allafrica/stories/201412151964.html
