South Africa is a country located at the Southern Tip of Africa. About twice the size of Texas.
Climate change has affected water supplies within the region. Rains that usually come and supply the country's water has come infrequently.

All underground water originates on the surface of the earth. The heat of the sun evaporates it; it forms clouds and falls as rain or snow; water accumulates in streams, ponds, oceans and it seeps into the ground. Just how much water is there underground? Geologists have determined that there is 30 times as much ground water as there is in all the streams, lakes and rivers in the world!

| Some of the stones in my mom's house |
 |
| On 60m deep there is a show of water and the spray is unbelievable |
Windpumps are a welcome sign all over our country.
Love from South Africa
