Water Wars Pulitzer Gateway

The water shortage in East Africa is affecting the social, political, and economical aspects of people’s lives in a lot of negative ways. When there aren’t enough resources to sustain a large population, the relationships between tribes and groups become strained and very tense, leading to violence. Politically, the water crisis has caused the government to put it’s self in a bad light by denying the lower class water when the upper class is not denied. For the economy, this crisis is doing awful things. For one, the price of anything having to do with water has gone up. Another way this has affected it badly is that people are dying and for the government that is less people they can tax.
