Eid trim pending
So I decided to do some research on how much water we receive from our main rivers.
We receive 5.9 billion cubic meters from the Jubba river, 2.4 billion cubic meters from the Shabelle. The Tana river flows for 200 miles inside Garissa country, which means we're entitled to 40 % of the water which is 5.4 billion cubic meters.
Total = 13.7 billion cubic meters.
That means we receive nearly 75 % of the water that Sudan receives from the Nile river. Through reforestation efforts and rainwater catchments, we could even increase that amount substantially. How can people say that Somalia doesn't have enough water then? Bare in mind, our population in DDSI, NFD and the Somali Republic is only 18.5 million whilst Sudan has a population of 40.23 million.
So we have 0.45 % their population, but 75 % their water resources.
