Synopsis

This work is aimed at identifying similarities
and differences in the water supply situation of six
study communities, Obe, Akama Oghe, Adaba,. E:ka Awoke,
and Ndi Offia within E:nugu State.
The mean household domestic water demand for the
six study communities was found to be 181.0 litres
per household per day (lpd), while consumption is
104.3 lpd. This gave a deficiency of 76.7 ~pd
representing a percentage margin of 42.4%. Analysis
of variance revealed that there are no significant
differences between the demand for water, while
there are significant differences between the supply
of water, among the various study communities.
