Water hyacinth affects daily life, from increasing flood risks and disrupting clean water supplies, to limiting recreational activities like fishing and boating. The plant also creates breeding grounds for mosquitoes, raising the risk of diseases like malaria! Additionally, the economic burden of managing water hyacinth can lead to higher taxes or reduced public services, affecting the entire community. Understanding this issue helps to protect local environments and maintain a better quality of life.This is your chance to know more, know better and experience Daily Maverick journalism in real time.RSVP here |
