Using Water Wisely

Abstract

The Coming Together radio series is designed for broadcast by local and community radio stations or it may be heard and downloaded from the web. It has been produced by OLSET and COL for use anywhere that people want to take action to help fight poverty and improve their lives, and in particular sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. // The “Using Water Wisely” programme is about rainwater harvesting, and making every drop count! Many of us face a shortage of water most of the time with periods of sudden and destructive flooding. Some people are tackling these life-threatening problems for themselves - find out about channelling floodwater in Tanzania and a drip irrigation system in South Africa and other examples of ways that we can capture and control that valuable resource - water. // PRODUCTION TEAM DETAILS Co-ordinator for OLSET : Farhana Chand ; Project manager at COL : Paul West and Krishna Alluri ; Project consultants : Kennedy Onyango, Saminu Ibrahim, James Onyango and Frances Cox (writer/producer) ; South Africa field recordings : Pule Phalatse ; Other recordings: Our thanks to Kazimierz Janowski, Ruth Evans, Warrill Grindrod and Namiz Musafer ; Presentation : Vineeta Dwevidi and Rupa Jha ; Music: " Coming Together" theme music composed and recorded by Lee Sparey at The Grooveyard
