EDITORIAL: Water conservation crucial

World Water Day marked on Saturday was a poignant reminder that fresh water is increasingly becoming scarce around the globe, setting the stage for a doomsday scenario in the next few decades. Access to water is at the centre of conflicts in some parts of Africa, and this serves to underscore the magnitude of the problem and its potential to slowly but steadily spiral out of control.

>The arrest of 12 water thieves on Sunday in an operation led by the Deputy Minister for Water, Mr Amos Makalla, is most welcome, for it might awaken others of their ilk that we still have a working government, a thing that some might have been querying given the impunity which a few among us display at the expense of fellow Tanzanians

EDITORIAL: Give people safe water, step up hygiene drive

>Water is life, the saying goes. Yet many Tanzanians die not for lack of the precious liquid but for drinking it when it is  contaminated and unsafe for human consumption. That is why we consider most valid the concern expressed by the medical officer in-charge at Mwanshimba Dispensary in Tabora, Dr George Kavella, who noted that the health of 17,000 people in the ward is at risk because they drink dirty water from a dam.
