A bath lacking water


One day Ludwick Marishane and his best friend were sunbathing in the sweltering heat in their native Limpopo, Botswana. Ludwick’s friend turned to him and brought up the idea of a water-less bath. Ludwick pondered on the thought of needing no water to cleanse oneself, and then thought of how the whole continent is in a state of emergency when it comes to needing clean water. It takes the normal person roughly two hours to fetch water for cooking, cleaning, and drinking. Even worse, almost half of all water used is contaminated, so the awareness of using this disease-filled necessity makes some people tremble. In order to save the little water that is safe enough to consume, Ludwick came up with a water-less bath that has the potential of bringing his nation partial ease, and the potential of bringing the Nobel prize to his doorstep.
