The water crisis is causing economic, political, and social turmoil in East Africa. The economy in Africa is failing because the two main jobs of people in Africa are farming crops and farming livestock. When there isn’t enough water to keep animals and crops alive, the short supply can’t meet the huge demand, and the foundations of the African economy fail. The fact that there just isn’t enough water for the people just adds to the problem. Most political problems in East Africa are water based as well, because countries are fighting each other for shared resources in a race to use them the fastest, focused only on their country’s short-term needs. The social aspects of people’s lives have also taken a turn for the worse as tribes battle each other in resource wars and families using more of their free time finding water and less of it preparing for the inevitable change of their ancestral way of life.
