Remote Eastern Cape villages now have access to clean water, thanks to installation of hydro panels: Over 1,000 residents have been able to access clean water after 400 hydro panels were installed in four villages in the Eastern Cape.
This was done through the commitment of some faculties at the University of Johannesburg in association with Source Global, who have embarked on an initiative to provide clean drinking water to families in the OR Tambo district municipality.Dr Kousar Hoorzook from UJ, who is leading the project, said the initiative's objectives were to improve access to quality water and to reduce efforts required for water collection.
“It aims to improve access to quality water in the selected villages, directly benefiting women, children, the elderly and people with disabilities who are most vulnerable to water scarcity; and secondly, to reduce efforts required for water collection, consequently enhancing the socio-economic value of the communities,” said Hoorzook.
