The water challenge in South Africa is where water is seen to be a scarce resource. South Africa is seen as a dry country as water than falls evaporates soon after. The majority of the country is made up of ground aquifers which means that the water that falls does not seep deep into the ground but rather runs of it or evaporates. Poor water management also leads to water wastage and there are not enough policies set in place to make sure people use water efficiently. Economic activity is seen to use a very large amount of water adding to the water scarcity problem. In addition, water needs to be recycled so that it is not lost and the growing population makes access to water extremely difficult. Electricity forma are very vital role in the development of society and ensuring that needs are met. With the political system and inequality, electricity has become difficult to obtain. Many live in poverty and poor infrastructure causes inequality as well as corruption playing a role in this. With economic development comes more usage in electricity. Lack of the access in modern energy services due to poverty makes energy access a large social issue. Lack of access to clean energy also has health risks as things such as indoor air pollution causes health problems such as pneumonia. Social justice is justice that deals with fairness and equality in society. There is equal distribution of things such as wealth. On the other hand environmental social justice is a type of social justice that deals with equality in the environment and focuses on creating equity regarding the environment. Wetlands can alleviate poverty by providing the poor with essential water supply that has been filtered by the wetlands. South Africa is a country that has a scarce water supply. Water is not always used sustainably and inequality causes people to not have equal access to clean water. The capitalist system and growing economy also play a part in water wastage and measures need to be implemented to ensure the sustainable use of water. It needs to be recycled instead of wasting it. This because of the very high positioned ground aquifers cause the water to evaporate instead of seeping into the ground, in turn causing a loss in ground water which is already scarce.
