The proliferation of boreholes in Kinshasa worries experts

In Kinshasa, due to difficulties accessing drinking water supplied by REGIDESO, many residents turn to boreholes to meet their daily needs. The number of these water points is increasing rapidly, often without technical control or prior studies, raising environmental and health concerns about groundwater quality. Experts urge the government to implement strict regulations to ensure sustainable and safe water sources. Health professionals warn about potential disease risks from poor water quality.
