WaterAid | Supplementing household supplies

Despite Ouagadougou receiving an average of 700mm rainfall per year Burkina Faso's climate, hydro-geological conditions and flat topography mean that water scarcity is an ongoing problem.

Working with local partners and some of the country's poorest people, WaterAid has helped to build much-needed concrete tanks to collect rainwater in communities and schools. With a capacity of 10 cubic metres, water stored in these tanks can supply a household of six to eight people with drinking water for two months.
