University Report: East African Famine and Drought Crisis Solutions

This report investigates the severe famine and drought crisis plaguing East Africa, with a specific focus on Somalia. The introduction highlights Somalia's geographical location, climate, and population, emphasizing its vulnerability to environmental challenges. The report details the devastating impact of the crisis, including widespread undernourishment. It proposes the Janicki Omni processor as a key solution, explaining how it can generate clean drinking water and electricity from human waste, thereby addressing water scarcity and promoting sustainable development in agriculture and livestock. The report also suggests reverse osmosis water distillation, highlighting its potential due to Somalia's equatorial location and solar energy potential. The conclusion summarizes the benefits of these strategies, including improved water availability, reduced food insecurity, and decreased incidence of waterborne diseases, emphasizing the importance of strategic implementation for optimal results. The report also discusses the impact of Janicki Omni processor on various industries. Finally, the report references several sources that support the findings and recommendations.

Other solutions
The impact of the draught can be minimized with the help of an advanced machine
known as the Janicki Omni processor. The foremost purpose of this machine is to produce
clean drinking water and electricity from the human faeces. This lengthy process starts with
the entry of the human sludge into the machines with the help of large tubes which is known
as the sewer sludge where the sludge is boiled heavily (Seal et al. 2017). The solids particles
and the water vapour are separated with the help of the filtering machines.
The solid particles are then dried and feeded to a fire with the help of high pressure
and high temperature steam. The collected steam is then inserted into the steam engine (Watts
2017). The steam engine drives a generator which helps in the production of electricity which
can be purposefully used to maintain the livestock and agricultural sector due to the adverse
conditions as these sectors contribute most to the GDP of Somalia (Villarreal 2015). The
water vapour which runs through the boiling process is made to cross through a cleaning
system and final resulting the production of clean drinking water. Many of the existing
problems of East Africa related to adverse weather conditions can be resolved using this
advanced machine (Shiferaw et al. 2014).

Conclusion
From the above paper, it can be concluded that the negative impacts of the solar
radiation in the East African countries such as Somalia can be effectively minimized with the
help of effective alternate strategies such as the practice of the reverse osmosis and the
Janicki Omni processor systems. The problems related to droughts such as scarcity of water,
electricity and undernourishment can be minimized with the help of the discussed strategies.
The prime industries which are mostly affected by the famines and the droughts such as the
livestock and the agricultural industry can be saved significantly with the help of the
discussed solutions of this paper. The impact of this adverse environmental weather
conditions on the socio economic goods can be improved with the help of these strategies.
Productivity in the agricultural sectors can be increased considering both the individual
farming and bigger agricultural organizations. The irrigation canals can be revived which can
lead to the growth of agricultural products. The banana plantations can also be revived with
the help of the proposed strategies. The management of the waste water and the human faeces

can get a new breakthrough. The insecurities related to the availability of food will be
removed after the incorporation of the effective techniques. The clean drinking water can also
help these countries to get rid of the water-borne diseases such as Cholera as well as diseases
like Measles. There are different sorts of nutritional losses in these countries during the
famines and the draughts which can be minimized if clean drinking water is available to
them. The discussed reverse osmosis water distillation system can be effectively incorporated
in Somalia due to its location near the equatorial region in East Africa which can be
effectively used to the generation of the photovoltaic power and the Janicki Omni processor
system should be implemented very strategically so that the desired results are obtained.
