Sokoto water scarcity not caused power shortage kaduna electric
A specific and timely topic!
According to reports, the Sokoto State Government has attributed the ongoing water scarcity in the state to a combination of factors, but NOT to power shortage caused by Kaduna Electric.
In a statement, the Sokoto State Government said that the water scarcity is due to a combination of factors, including:
- Low water levels in the Rima River, which is the main source of water for the state.
- Drought and climate change, which have led to reduced rainfall and increased evaporation rates.
- Poor maintenance of water infrastructure, including pipes and pumps.
- Inadequate funding for water supply and sanitation services.
The government also stated that it is working to address the issue by:
- Repairing and replacing damaged pipes and pumps.
- Increasing the capacity of water treatment plants.
- Implementing water conservation measures, such as fixing leaks and promoting water-saving practices.
- Exploring alternative sources of water, such as boreholes and wells.
It's worth noting that Kaduna Electric, the electricity distribution company, has been experiencing challenges with power supply in recent times, but there is no evidence to suggest that this is the primary cause of the water scarcity in Sokoto State.
