JACKSON, eMississippi (WLBT). Akuzona zonke izinhlelo zokuhlunga amanzi ezidalwe zilingana, kodwa zidingeka kakhulu njengoba izixwayiso zamanzi abilayo zisekhona enhloko-dolobha.
Emasontweni ambalwa ngemva kwesimemezelo sokugcina samanzi abilayo, uVidhi Bamzai wanquma ukuthola ikhambi. Ucwaningo oluthile lwamholela ekuguquleni izinhlelo ze-osmosis.
“Okungenani ngiyazi ukuthi amanzi engiwaphuzayo aphephile ngenxa yesistimu ye-reverse osmosis,” kuchaza uBamzai. “Ngiyakholelwa kula manzi. Kodwa ngisebenzisa la manzi ukugeza. Ngisebenzisa la manzi ukugeza izandla zami. Umshini wokuwasha izitsha usafudumele, kodwa ngikhathazekile ngezinwele zami futhi ngikhathazekile ngesikhumba sami.”
“Lesi sitshalo sidala lokho ongakubiza ngokuthi amanzi ahlanzekile ongawathenga esitolo,” kusho uDaniels, umnikazi weMississippi Clean Water.
Lezi zinhlelo ze-reverse osmosis zinezingqimba eziningana zezihlungi, okuhlanganisa nezihlungi ze-sediment zokubamba izinto ezifana nesihlabathi, ubumba kanye nezinsimbi. Kodwa uDaniels uthe isidingo singaphezu kwenkinga yamanje.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi kuhle ukuthi uyazi ukuthi amanzi angabhekwa njengaphephile,” kusho uDaniels. “Kodwa uyazi, singahlangana ngemva kwezinyanga eziyisithupha ngaphandle kokukwazisa ngamanzi abilayo, futhi ngizokukhombisa lesi sihlungi, ngeke sibe singcolile njengoba sinjalo manje. Kumane kungukungcola nokuqoqwa kwamapayipi amadala nezinto ezinjalo. Uyazi, akulona ngempela ingozi. Kumane kuyichilo.”
Sibuze uMnyango Wezempilo ngezincomo zawo nokuthi ngabe zikhona yini izinhlelo zokuhlunga ezingaphuzwa ngokuphephile ngaphandle kokubilisa. Baphawula ukuthi zonke izinhlelo zokuhlunga zihlukile, futhi abathengi bangazihlola bona. Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi zihlukile, batusa ukuthi noma ubani ohlala eJackson aqhubeke nokubilisa okungenani umzuzu ngaphambi kokuphuza.
"Ngicabanga ukuthi inkinga enkulu kimi ukuthi nginenhlanhla yokuthi ngiyakwazi ukukhokhela lolu hlelo. Iningi labantu baseJackson alikwazi. Kubantu abahlala lapha kodwa abangakwazi ukukhokhela lezi zinhlelo, ingabe siyizixazululo zesikhathi eside ezinikezwa ngabantu? Kungikhathaza kakhulu ngoba asikwazi ukuqhubeka kanje."
