Abstract
The author of this article touches upon the problem of the water scarcity on the African continent, which turns into a real environmental disaster. As the root causes of the current situation, not only the climatic and geographical features of the continent, but in particular the problems of managing the rationalization of water resources, lack of funding and the lack of a sanitary and epidemiological culture of the local population are noted. On the example of the urban environment and large energy infrastructure, the most striking catalysts for the current critical situation in Africa are demonstrated. Despite the identified significant lag behind the experience of advanced countries in the field of environmental protection, the author reveals the prospects for a long-term partnership with Russia, as the bearer of many years of experience in successfully ecologozation the consumption of water resources.
