ASSESSING HOUSEHOLD WATER DEMAND AND CONSUMPTION IN MANGU LGA PLATEAU STATE
Abstract
This study assesses household water demand and consumption in Mangu Local Government Area (LGA), Plateau State, Nigeria. Access to clean and adequate water is critical for daily living, yet many communities in Mangu LGA face challenges in meeting household water needs. The study aims to identify factors influencing water demand, analyze consumption patterns, and evaluate the sufficiency of water supply in the region. Data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to 300 households across different communities in Mangu LGA. Key variables examined include household size, water sources, consumption levels, and seasonal variations in water demand.
The findings reveal significant disparities in water access, with many households relying on multiple sources such as boreholes, streams, and wells to meet their daily water requirements. Average household water consumption was found to be below the recommended per capita water consumption standard by the World Health Organization (WHO), particularly during the dry season when water scarcity intensifies. Factors such as household income, education level, and proximity to water sources were identified as major determinants of water demand.
The study concludes that there is a pressing need for improved water infrastructure and management policies to address water shortages and enhance water access for households in Mangu LGA. Recommendations include the expansion of borehole networks, promotion of water conservation practices, and the implementation of community-driven water management initiatives to ensure sustainable water supply and consumption.
