Analysis of the data


Previously, there were 4 boreholes with house
connection and controlled by meter under DAWASA.
Water availability was not proportional with the
increasing in population.
 Water demand was higher than the supply as
results illegal connections were born and
spread very quickly over the area.
 People with house connection turn to water
vendor.
Analysis of the data…..
 90% of the water supply is from one
shallow well,
 Water from water vendors is cost 100
to 150 per 20ltrs bucket. Its not reliable
since the owners decide on the time of
opening and closure of the taps.
 Accessing water takes more than an
hour.
 Poor people are using water from
unprotected sources.
 Per capita per day is 10-15ltr
Analysis of the data…..

Most of the shallow wells are allocated at
lower area while latrines are few meters on
upper surface.
 Shallow wells are in a form of small ponds,
which are open to contamination except
only one that was covered with hand pump.
 Some people are using water from the rive,
with believes that water is fee with bacteria
in the morning and can be consumed
without boiling.
Analysis of the data…..
 At least 96% of the residents have latrines while 4%

 The materials used for super structure ranges from
grass (22%), iron sheet (28%) and block cement

children defecate on the ground and the faeces are
disposed off in the toilet.
Analysis of the data…..
