"I think it`s very sad that many people in Africa don`t have clean water. They are getting ill when they drink the dirty water, and they are afraid every time they drink water." Mads.
Mutual Project
When we started our project, we agreed to focus on climate issues, peoples access to water and the countries ground water. It was natural to compare Iceland and Norway, but to make it interesting and instructive, we also wanted to compare it to a developing country. We went for Zambia after seeing some interesting videos on this page........................
We have been measuring the rain fall over a period in both Bergen and Reykjavik, and the students have been assigned to find out more about the rain fall in Zambia.
We have learned that some people in Zambia have to walk as far as 20 km. to get clean water. To put ourselves in their situation, we carried 10 L. of water on our heads for 200 meters.
We will publish pictures and some students quotes on this page very soon. We will publish some graphs to show the comparisons on the rain fall.
