Botswana water woes worry UN expert

Heller, the UN Rapporteur on the Human Right to Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation, had been on a fact-finding mission to Botswana from November 9-17, 2015 with the aim to assess the situation of the human rights to water and sanitation in the country.

Heller who met government representatives, traditional leaders, communities, civil society and international organisations in Gaborone, Kasane, Maun, Shaikarawe, Ghanzi, Xade and New Xade before his report, says in Botswana available water resources are getting lower over time.
