Abstract

Water and poverty are indistinguishably related. Absence of clean water and poverty are equally worth to research into; access to reliable sources of clean water is vital in decreasing poverty. Water is an essential commodity in human and aquatic life and plays a crucial role in the development of every country. Water is used for several activities such as irrigation in agricultural, energy generation, domestic use, industry and many more. This study investigates the state of access to water resources in sub-Sahara Africa, discussing the available potentials and addressing the various barriers preventing its development as well as policies for proper water management. The study surveys the socio-economic drivers of poverty and environmental factors. The conclusion of this study can be used to inform policymakers, governments, international organizations and other stakeholders to support in preparing for suitable policies for providing quality and better service in water supply and maintainable water management for countries at a giving time to avoid water poverty.
