Zimbabwe: Water shortages in Bulawayo
20.09.2007
Acute water shortages are aggravating the health problems of its 1,500,000 residents.
Stringent water rationing has been introduced in a bid to make the contents of fast-dwindling dams last until the onset of the expected rains in November, but the municipal council acknowledges that the poor inflows of water into the southern city's reservoirs has led to an increase in waterborne diseases.
