Ngara residents are facing a severe water shortage, with many going without access to clean drinking water for days.

Published on September 3, 2019, the water crisis has left many residents struggling to access basic necessities.

According to reports, the water shortage is due to a combination of factors, including a lack of rainfall and inadequate water infrastructure.

The situation has been exacerbated by the fact that many residents rely on wells and boreholes for their water supply, which are often contaminated and not suitable for human consumption.

As a result, residents are being forced to rely on expensive and often unregulated water vendors, who are taking advantage of the situation to make a profit.

The water shortage has also had a significant impact on local businesses, with many reporting a decline in sales and revenue due to the lack of access to clean water.
