Where illustrates illustrate the real effects of
climate change.
The communities of Karonga and Salima
districts in Malaw
Give an example as to why areas like Malawi are prone to floodlng
its mostly flat, rising to hills further from
the lake shore. the communities are then
prone to flooding which destroys crops, kills
livestock, causes latrines to collapse and
damages houses,
What makes flooding more likely in places like Malawi
Deforestation in the districts and
upstream also makes flooding more likely.
When the existing boreholes were constructed
in the 1980s and ’90s
What was the problem withe boreholes of the 1980’s and 90’s
communities were not
made responsible for looking after their own
water supply, which meant many boreholes

Because Communities were not made responsible for looking after their own boreholes what were communities faced with
When boreholes fail, communities face a longer
walk to another borehole, creating queues for
water, or resort to using shallow wells, rivers
or ponds
