He also emphasized the necessity of creating sustainable and reasonably priced water harvesting technologies, such as rainwater collection for livestock and irrigation, pond excavation, and household water storage.

 

He emphasized the significance of maintaining the availability of clean and safe water, managing wastewater effectively, and balancing the use of water by people, animals, and wildlife.

 

In order to support sustainable water use, wastewater management, and community resilience to extreme weather events, Dr. Mpango emphasized the importance of incorporating climate change considerations into national policies.
