Conflict arises between three farming villages in the highlands of northern Ethiopia as the communities attempt to share water from the same stretch of the Guder River.

Transcript -- Sharing a river

In Ethiopia, 65% of people don’t have access to clean drinking water. In this album we take a glimpse at the struggles Ethiopians go through each day, just to survive. We look closely at the different methods used to improve the quality of life in the rural highlands as well as the conflict between neighbouring farming villages attempting to share the same water supply. This material forms part of the course U116 Environment: journeys through a changing world.
