London and Cape Town are some of the most water stressed areas on our trip - sounds surprising? How can raining old London have less water than the deserts of Sudan? Water stress is about the amount of water available for the population, as it doesn't rain as much as we all think it does in London and because London and the surrounding area has a massive population - there is only just enough water to go around. Sudan with its low population and the Nile means that water is plentiful (if you are close to the Nile that is). But "water Stress" doesn't really show the whole story in Africa and isn't the major problem like it is in the UK and South Africa. The major problem in Africa is often how to get hold of the available water - and making sure it
is safe.
