One house, one tank

What is disturbing however, is that despite the recorded low rainfall amount, our roads were flooded to a point that a first time visitor would confuse us for a water-logged countries in Asia, Europe and other parts of the world that receive good rains throughout the year.

The much-needed water flowed away to unknown destinations and we may never see it again, since we do not know when the next showers will embrace us. Instead of focusing on multi-billion projects such as the Lesotho pipeline, we should also intensify our efforts of harvesting rainwater at home. It starts with educating our people about the importance of rainwater harvesting and every family keeping a collection tank.
