Due to water shortage, in the wards of Ngarenanyuki andOldonyosambu (Arumeru District, Northern Tanzania), the percapita daily water consumption is 8 liters as.average, Theavaleability goes down to 3-4 liters in the dry seasons whenmost of the population cannot resort to seasonal ponds orstreams and so it is compelled to concentrate around the fewperennial water points. This datum is quite far from theMillennium Goal objectives that foresee a quantity of at least20 l/d/p (litres per day per person) for the DevelopmentCountries population, within 2015. Problems are also related towater quality, in particular, the high concentration of fluoridethat characterises the waters in East Africa Rift System.
