Have you experienced water scarcity?

Share your experiences of water scarcity with us!

We’re asking communities to tell us their stories of life when water supplies run low or dry up.

This could include photos, voice notes, videos, and artwork depicting experiences of water scarcity. We’re aiming to share these stories with those planning responses to water scarcity and the wider public.

How to submit your stories…

You can email or text us any experiences of water scarcity in the form of written stories and accounts, or even drawings and artwork.

Send us a voice note on WhatsApp telling us your experiences of water scarcity where you live.

You can submit photographs of water scarcity issues. These could include evidence of dry weather, broken infrastructure or pollution.

You can also submit videos by email or WhatsApp highlighting issues of water scarcity in your area.

Example submission…

All nineteen properties in our village are dependent on small private water supplies. The source of the supplies is a mixture of small burns and seepages from the hill. My neighbour’s supply is from a small seepage which regularly runs dry. When this happens, we have a system where I top up her tanks from my own pipeline. I have been trying for 20 years to get a public mains supply to the village but have so far been unsuccessful.
