Future of Our Water & Oceans
Protected: Water Resilience: The Economic Imperative
New water pipes being laid in the Bugesera district in Rwanda, August 2025. Bugesera has enough freshwater available to supply everyone in the district, but the water treatment plants need to be improved to increase the volume of treated water available. Currently, rationing is in place and some residents only receive clean water for one or two out of every ten days. Worse still, many families remain unconnected to the water grid and so cannot access water. Credit: WaterAid/Leslie Akimana
