Concentrations of trace elements in drinking water affect its safety and acceptability for use. Potentially toxic element (PTE) contaminations are considered extremely hazardous because of toxicity, persistence, and bioaccumulative behaviour. Many areas in the Southern African Development Community are data poor and have poor accessibility. The results of our previous research identified the presence of fossil waters in southern Limpopo National Park. Groundwater and river water are the only sources of drinking water for the villages in the study area.

One of the roles society expects by architecture is the ability to shape communities, remodel environments,
and influence behaviours in a predictable and positive way. Furthermore, architects claims for themselves the
professional skills to express social imagination through their architectural ideas and design. During the early 1960s a new idea of space and community emerged: the concept of placemaking raised and activists and personalities theorised the slogan "cities for people" and not only for cars and shopping centres.
