Did you know that Chad got its name from Lake Chad which means "large expanse of water". It serves as a fresh water source for 30 million people. Unfortunately, the lake is drying up. The lake's water level has shrunk by nearly 90 percent, just since 1960. The United Nations' Food and Agriculture organization calls the situation an "ecological catastrophe".
