Clean, safe water works best when at scale

I feel like most Westerners think the answer to water issues in the rest of the world is (1) new inventions like water filters or (2) hyperlocal things like digging a well. All the while, they’re drinking municipally purified water from a central processing facility.

For some problems the question isn’t how to do it best on a budget, but how to get the resources to do it right.

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony held on 09 December, Ondo State Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa  highlighted the project’s significance: “Clean water is a fundamental right, and today we bring that right to everyone in Ondo State. This project is central to our water and agricultural modernization efforts, forming the backbone of the State’s water supply and food security system, uplifting communities, creating jobs, improving health, and enabling prosperity in Ondo State.”
