SYMPTOMS OF WATER VULNERABILITYSYMPTOMS OF WATER VULNERABILITY
• Not having enough water that is clean for drinking or cooking.
• Not having toilets or sanitation (risking disease).
• Low levels of hygiene (risking disease).
• Having to travel a long way to find water.
• Not having enough water to grow crops.
Can you think of any more..?

CAUSES OF WATER VULNERABILITYCAUSES OF WATER VULNERABILITY
What do you think are the causes of water vulnerability?
• Conflict
• Drought
• Poor water infrastructure (meaning pipes, wells and irrigation)
• Floods
![Page 13: OXFAM WATER WEEK OXFAM WATER WEEK Learn and think about water vulnerability](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfae1a28abf838c9ca14/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
POOR INFRASTRUCTURE…POOR INFRASTRUCTURE…
In Tajikistan, the infrastructure was poor.
Too few pipes meant there was no water near people’s homes.
Why does a lack of infrastructure cause water vulnerability?

CONFLICT…CONFLICT…
In Syria, there has been a conflict.
People have had to move to displacement camps to escape the fighting.
Why does conflict cause water vulnerability?

NATURAL DISASTERS…NATURAL DISASTERS…In 2013 Super-Typhoon Haiyan hit central Philippines.
A massive earthquake struck Haiti in 2010.
Infrastructure was destroyed and people were evacuated.

MAKE A WATER VULNERABILITY TREEMAKE A WATER VULNERABILITY TREE
Make an issues tree:
Write ‘Water vulnerability’ (the issue) on the trunk.
Write the causes of water vulnerability next to the roots.
Write the symptoms of water vulnerability on the branches.
