Is it true that drinking water is sold in plastic sachets in parts of Africa, including Nigeria and Ghana, as a cheaper way to buy and carry water?

Yes. A Wikipedia reference states sachet water is a common form of selling water in plastic bags especially popular in Africa, cheaper than plastic bottles and easier to transport, and discusses its importance in Nigeria and Ghana. Two peer-reviewed Nigerian studies confirm sachet water is sold and consumed in Nigeria.
