One of the greatest challenges we face today is limited
resources. Over the years our need for natural resources has doubled and if we
continue using up what we have at the current rate, there will be no sustainable future.
Competition and conflicts over natural resources are threatening our
sustainability.
Resource scarcity is evident the world over. Shortages of
rain and water supply in general are challenging our sustainable future. The
photographs below explore the effects of water scarcity in Naivasha, Kenya.
Dry kindling ready to be used as firewood. Big trees have
severely dried over the years and eventually been chopped down before
they become a fire hazard.
Due to lack of water, a crop of beans has dried up while
still in the ground.
Maize burnt out with the extreme heat. Dried kernels scavenged
by pests in search of food.
A maize cob dried up and withered on the stalks while still
in the ground due to harsh heat and lack of rain.
