Sudan
Tap water situation
Tap water in Sudan is generally not considered safe to drink. Water quality can be a significant issue due to factors like limited infrastructure and resources, making access to clean and safe drinking water a challenge in many areas. It is advisable to treat or boil tap water before consumption, or to rely on bottled water for drinking purposes. The quality and accessibility of tap water can vary significantly across the different regions, with urban areas typically having better systems in place than rural ones. The responsibility for water quality in Sudan falls under the Ministry of Irrigation and Water Resources, which works to manage and provide safe drinking water across the country. However, due to ongoing challenges, the implementation of consistent and reliable water quality management can be difficult.
