One of the effects of global warming is unreliability of climate and weather patterns. In the recent past, rainfall patterns have been erratic, resulting in water shortages.

The Government must put in place mitigating measures to enhance resilience in the water sector. The World Bank in 2014 defined resilience as “the ability of a system, entity or community to adopt to a variety of changing conditions and withstand shocks while maintaining its essential functions”.
