The African Union-United Nations Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) and UN agencies have been working with local partners and relevant institutions to increase access to, and improve the management of such water resources for all local communities. Residents in Gundi village in Edd-elfursan locality in South Darfur, for example, rely on the borehole(s) , which supplies water to the village but it has stopped working and has left them with a big gap in water resources. The minimum amount of clean water that one person needs each day is between 7.5 and 15 litres, according to international guidelines. Given the pressure from rapid demographic growth and the large population concentrations occurring in Darfur’s towns and camps for displaced people, acquiring even this bare minimum amount of water has become a challenge.
