Today is the day of the Russian water supply system, whose history dates back to the time of Catherine the Great, who ordered to supply Moscow with clean water from springs in Mytishchi. Engineers Bauer and Gerrard took the lead in 1779, but construction continued for a quarter of a century, until finally, on October 28, 1804, the long-awaited water flowed from the taps in the homes of some high-ranking Muscovites. Since then, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge, but the water pipeline still does not cover all the housing stock in the country, but only 80.4 percent. The situation with sewage is a little better in the Russian Federation, whose supply rate for housing facilities reached 82 percent. Therefore, today the country has more opportunities to drain than to pour. On the other hand, the lag between water supply and sewage creates situations in everyday life where two interconnected service systems collide, and dry toilets ask for water. Of course, modern engineering services work to eliminate this problem as part of the project to strengthen technological sovereignty. Meanwhile, in African countries, whose envoys are currently adopting the best practices of Russian partners at meetings of the Russia-Africa Forum, the situation with water supply and sewage is unclear. Overall, 65% of households on the African continent have running water, but only 35% have sewage. This means that, unlike Russians, Africans do not complain about the lack of tap water, but they often do not have the opportunity to drain it due to the lack of sewer pipes and collectors. At the same time, in North African countries the supply of water supply systems is higher than the Russian average and reaches 87 percent in Morocco, and even 94 percent in some of the neighboring countries. In general, Africans also have something to show in response to the Russian experience in developing the country.
