Barriers to connecting to the water network, such as high capital costs and lack of property rights in informal settlements, exacerbate inequalities in water network access between high- and low-income settlements ( Collignon & Vézina 2000). In Accra, where residents are already paying four times as much for water by volume than New Yorkers, slum residents are paying vendors up to eight times the local public utility prices ( United Nations Development Programme 2006), and up to twenty times in dryer periods ( Taylor et al. Most people are dependent upon water vendors when lacking a nearby connection or when rationing diverts water to higher-income neighborhoods. 2008), and less than 10% have a reliable in-house connection ( Taylor et al. Although GWCL’s service coverage is technically 80% of the ATMA, less than half of residents have a house or yard connection ( Van-Rooijen et al. Subsequent water rationing and low quality ad hoc storage systems leave large portions of the population without adequate potable water. GWCL is unable to provide water to all of Accra due to production and distribution limits, continued population growth without urban planning, and non-revenue water losses which weaken the utility further ( Van-Rooijen et al. (GWCL) water treatment plants on the eastern and western peripheries (Kpong and Weija Waterworks, respectively) of ATMA, but the city has grown well beyond the plants’ capacities. Water service to ATMA is currently provided by two Ghana Water Company Ltd. The drinking water landscape in Ghana’s largest urban center, the Accra-Tema Metropolitan Area (ATMA), is typical of West African cities where preventable epidemics and resulting deaths continue to emerge primarily due to insufficient water and sanitation services. This water scarcity results in further marginalization of living conditions and generates high levels of morbidity, particularly in the most densely populated, and generally poorest urban areas ( UN-HABITAT 2006 Gaisie & Gyau-Boakye 2007).
The inadequate investment in water infrastructure over the past few decades has restricted – or even eliminated – piped water access for an increasingly large fraction of the urban population. In the face of such rapid and unprecedented urbanization, many governments have been unable to extend basic water and sanitation services to keep up with urban population growth, and informal settlements and slums have become a fixture in sub-Saharan Africa’s urban landscape. Indeed, Ghana passed that threshold in 2011. 2008), and projections for the next decade yield an urban-majority population for the region ( United Nations 2010). Many sub-Saharan African cities have surged in population in recent decades due to industrialization-driven urbanization coupled with high (though declining) fertility ( Bloom et al. It's better than any top shelf liquor.Despite substantial progress toward the Millennium Development Goals’ target of halving the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation, nearly a billion (10 9) people still lack safe sources of drinking water, over a third of whom live in sub-Saharan Africa ( United Nations 2008).
Lately I take tomato juice, 3 drips of hot sauce, black pepper and add the shine to my taste. I make my shine as high proof as I can get then I make a mixed drink diluting it with the kind of mix I want. Use pure distilled water or a good quality bottled spring water. Tap water has all kinds of BS in it and it will make your shine taste like the city water supply.
I never had to dilute my shine other than when I make a mixed drink so I figure you want to dilute it so you can drink it straight, if this is the case you don't want to use tap water to dilute it. You can use your hydrometer as the mixer but be very carful not to hit the sides of the picture so you don't break it. You keep adding a little water at a time until you get the proof you want, simple. If your not good at math a better but slower way to dilute your shine is to get a large picture, at least a 1 gallon size and fill it half way with your shine, then put in your proof hydrometer, slowly add a little distilled water and mix it up, the more water you add the higher the hydrometer will float making it a lower proof.
