[GIST] How Residents Of Taraba, Bauchi Communities Rely On Contaminated Water From Shallow Rivers For Survival
Some residents of Jauro Jalo in the Lau Local Government Area of Taraba State and Kadage village in the Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area of Bauchi State have been relying on dirty water for drinking and other domestic uses.
In videos obtained by SaharaReporters, residents are seen queuing by a shallow river in Jaulo Jalo village and Kadage to fetch dirty water.
The locals queue up at the river bank daily with their bowls and basin to scoop water regardless of the state of the river.
Residents of Jaulo Jalo village in Taraba and Kadage village in the Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area of Bauchi State suffer similar fate.
The videos were posted by a Twitter user identified only as Mustapha, who stated that they have been able to evaluate the conditions of the people in the communities.
He however commenced a movement with the harshtag #Buildawell, to encourage the building of wells or modern water facilities for the underprivileged, especially the residents of rural areas.
