More about:

World Water Day is being celebrated today across the globe. According to the World Health Organization there are some good news - 87 percent of the global population now has access to potable water.

But that figure hides a different reality on the ground - especially in Africa.

In Cameroon, poor infrastructure and a lack of political will has left nearly four in five people without reliable access to potable water sources.
