Introduction
Nowadays we can’t deny that the water is important for humans, plants and animals life. All living things around the world can live without water in every day; we use water for drinking, agriculture, industrial, travel, transportation and many other things. However some areas still have the region arid too. There are lacks of available water to use by many reasons such as temperature increase, Natural disasters, Global warming and destroyed by humans.
This is a recommendation report or the supply in which compare two water provision methods for an arid region. Firstly is groundwater and another one is solar water disinfection. The methods need it to support our growing population and improve our standard of living for the region arid.
Groundwater
In many countries lack information sharing, the lack of technical ability and training are major causes of impractical water resources management. There are 2 million diarrhoeal deaths from unsafe water in every year. More than one billion people lack access to an improved water source so the report providing the methods of water provision.
Groundwater is thought of as liquid water flowing through soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations, the water able to increase in rainy season and decrease in summer, it’s a significance link in the hydrologic cycle because it is the source of most of the water in rivers and lakes. Humans use groundwater by drill water well. Groundwater is also important as the direct source of water withdrawn for domestic water use, irrigation and industrial uses worldwide (Dingman, 2002).
Groundwater in Africa
Groundwater in Africa, which was founded in 2004, despite its relatively small contribution to the total water supply in South Africa, represents an important water resource. Two-thirds of South Africa’s
