A rowing project on the Kafue River in Zambia aims to highlight four interconnected water crises: lack of clean drinking water for local communities, irrigation challenges for farming, industrial pollution, and ecological damage from hydroelectric dams.

The idea is simple. We are in the process of building a river and rowing project on the Kafue River, which is one of the tributaries of the Zambezi in Zambia. And the idea is that is used to sort of firstly highlight all aspects of water issues. And one of the big things, if you ever have a chance to go to the Kafue River in Zambia, is it probably shines a light on all the things that our a problem for water, whether it be water consumption and the accessibility of clean water for drinking for the population, whether it be irrigation issues around agriculture, whether it be industrial pollution flowing into that river, whether it be the link with hydroelectric power and what profound effect that can have on our natural waterways. All those things come into focus in that one space.
