If the water exists, then why do so many Africans live water-scarce lives? I believe that African water scarcity has been caused by the absence of a compelling alternative vision for ensuring water availability. No one has sketched one—not local leaders, not NGOs. Rather, even though water provision is serious business, many think that solving water problems is as simple as drilling another well. Such attitudes have trivialized not only the work required to maintain water infrastructure, but also the role of water as a driver of social stability....

We are tapping into the Internet of Things to help improve lives and even, in some cases, save them.
