In the first video, people in Donetsk are seen greeting a water tanker. In the second video, during the rain, people try to collect at least a drop of water because the water pipeline from the Siverskyi Donets was destroyed by the Russians. When Donetsk was not occupied by Russia, the city hosted the European Football Championship, as well as concerts by Rihanna and Beyoncé. Now, there is no more running water in the city. According to the schedule, water only appears in taps once every three days, and even then it doesn’t reach every household, so water has to be delivered by tankers, with long queues forming for it. People use plastic bags as toilets, and this filth spreads everywhere. This is happening not only in Donetsk - water is supplied once every two days in a number of other cities, including Mariupol. This is how Russia 'liberated' Donbas. Why is this happening? In the past three and a half years - since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 - reservoirs in Donetsk Oblast have significantly dried up. The water supply system from the Siverskyi Donets River was destroyed. The region’s reservoirs and underground water sources are not enough to meet the needs of the population, in part due to the extensive network of coal mines. When the self-proclaimed “DPR” and “LPR” were created in 2014, Ukraine did not cut off this water channel, as it was still supplying water to Mariupol, which remained under Ukrainian control. But at the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022, the situation changed: the Russian army, during its offensive, destroyed a unique hydraulic structure that had supplied the region’s largest cities with water. The Russian authorities decided to build a new canal - the Don–Donbas canal - which was supposed to begin in the Rostov-on-Don area. It soon became clear that the new water pipeline, first of all, could not provide the region with the necessary amount of water, and second, it was built with numerous violations, with a large portion of the budget embezzled during construction. Crimea is also suffering from a water shortage, and the situation is worsening. One of the reasons why Russia is striving to seize southern Ukraine is that it sees this as a way to "solve the water issue" for the occupied territories.

This is how bad and pathetic the water situation in Zimbabwe’s capital city, Harare, has become. A borehole is being drilled on Kaguvi Street, outside HT Tyres. This is what corruption does to a country, central government controls everything in councils, resulting in this collapse. In cities like Harare, the need for boreholes reflects how corruption and central government interference have crippled local authorities, stripping them of the capacity to provide basic services. Boreholes in central business districts indicate that the municipal water supply system has failed. In a functioning city, clean and reliable piped water should be standard, particularly in central areas. Most of Harare, including the most affluent areas, does not receive piped water at all. The Water Act clearly states that Central Government (ZANUPF Government) should build dams! This has not been done due to rampant historic corruption. Harare and its dormitory towns rely on Lake Chivero, which was constructed by the colonial government in 1952 to provide clean drinking water for Harare and its surrounding areas, with a total population of 300,000 people. Today, it serves the Harare metropolitan area and satellite towns such as Chitungwiza, Epworth, Norton, and Ruwa with a total population of around 4.5 million people. The same lake that provides drinking water also receives untreated sewage. Residents have resorted to boreholes, sadly, something the last colonial ruler Ian Smith predicted would happen. How tragic that predictions once dismissed as racist have now come to pass.

From Great Wall Gardens Residents Athi River Great Wall Gardens Management Office Great Wall Gardens Cc: Ederman (Developer) Dear Management Team. Subject: Urgent Meeting Request Regarding Water Issues We hope this message finds you well. As residents of Great Wall Gardens, we are writing to request your presence at an urgent meeting scheduled for Saturday, 18th May 2024, starting at 9 AM. Thismeeting will take place outside the management offices. The primary aim of this gathering is to address the numerous and ongoing issues related to our water supply that have significantly impacted our daily lives and well-being. The following critical points need to be discussed:Water Unavailability: Residents have experienced frequent and prolonged periods without water, severely disrupting our daily activities; 1. Low Water Pressure: When water is available, the pressure is often so low that it becomes unusable for household needs. 2. Misleading Information from Management: We have encountered numerous instances of false or misleading information regarding the water supply situation. 3. High Water Bills: Despite the poor service, residents have been receiving exorbitantly high water bills, which are unjustifiable. 4. Dirty Water: The quality of water provided is frequently substandard, with residents reporting dirty and unclean water. 5. Consistent Same Figure Bills: There is an unusual consistency in the billing amounts, raising concerns about their accuracy and fairness. 6. Estimated/Cooked Water Bills: Many residents believe that the bills are not based on actual consumption but are arbitrarily estimated or manipulated. 7. Smelly Water: The water often has an unpleasant odor, making it unfit for use. Faulty Meters: There are widespread issues with faulty meters, leading to false readings that do not match actual household consumption. 8. Lack of Communication & Water Rationing Schedule: There is a significant lack of communication from management regarding water rationing schedules, leaving residents unprepared for water outages. These issues have caused immense frustration, inconvenience, and distress among the residents. We believe it is essential to address these concerns urgently and collaboratively to find sustainable solutions. We earnestly request your attendance at this meeting to engage in a constructive dialogue and work towards resolving these critical issues. Your presence and cooperation will demonstrate a commitment to transparency and accountability, which are vital for rebuilding trust with the residents. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to your positive response and meaningful participation on Saturday. Yours sincerely, Concerned Great Wall Gardens Residents.
