Governments across Africa have suggested holding a global water partnership in order to help communities with water shortages and strive for its better management. Threats to water sources include climate change and activities that cause pollution and erosion. In line with sustainable adaptation to water management and climate change, countries are requested to design projects that fight against water mismanagement and climate change.

Because the entire world, and even the continent itself, do not have the same problems, each country is advised to adapt with its own method considering the nature of the difficulty it has.

All countries in Africa or in the world do not have same problem. One can have problems with irrigation, while another can suffer from over flooding due to large quantities of water.

The region needs to take into consideration the importance of water and take measures to protect and prevent the shortage of water.

Poor water management in the region is due to lack of law enforcement.

People in the region still face challenges like droughts, erosion, and lack of safe drinking water whereby some use water from the dams to survive.
