Discoveries of aquifers — underground earth formations that hold water — often create excitement around their ability to ease water scarcity in a region. The United States recently announced the discovery of five aquifers in Niger, one of Africa’s most water scarce countries, containing over 600 billion cubic metres of water. To put it into perspective, Egypt’s current water demand is 114 billion cubic metres of water per year.
These are welcome announcements. Due to a changing climate and the increasing demands of a growing population, many of Africa’s surface water resources — such as dams and rivers — are facing serious risks. They’re being overused and slowly decreasing.
Alternative water sources, like aquifers, need to be explored. They are highly prevalent across the African continent, but they’re not always going to help address water scarcity. For instance, early research findings deemed Kenya’s Turkana aquifer water unfit for use due to high salinity. It’s important to bear these challenges in mind so that expectations can be managed. It is also useful for planners and governments, as they need to think of other ways around the water scarcity problem.

INSTRUCTIONS: Read the following text to answer question.
TEXT
Blood sugar issues like type 2 diabetes and prediabetes have become incredibly common and are slated to impact billions in the decades to come. The well-known associations between these conditions and immune, kidney, cardiovascular as well as brain diseases make it more important that we better understand what’s controlling our blood sugar. It’s now been established that sleep may be one major regulator.
It’s been well established that sleep deprivation damages healthy blood sugar and insulin function, while getting good sleep may have the opposite effect. Yet the reasons why have remained less clear. In a paper just published by a team including sleep expert and author of Why We Sleep, Dr. Matthew Walker, researchers looked at associations between markers of sleep brainwaves and blood sugar markers the next day. After examining hundreds of people, they found that certain patterns of brain activity measured during deep sleep (non-REM) significantly predicted fasting blood sugar measurements the next day. The researchers concluded that their findings suggest a link between sleep and blood sugar regulation. They also draw attention to the significance of this result in the context of management of blood sugar issues like diabetes.
