Development of Effective Water Supply Model for Kaduna Metropolis using Unguwar Kanawa as Case Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 30, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
The sustainability of water is critical to local, regional, national and global security. It is impossible to think of a resource more essential in the health of human communities or their economy than water. Water runs like a river through our lives, touching everything from our vigor and the fitness of natural ecosystem around us to farmer’s fields and the production of goods we consume (Flint 2003). Goals can be established to begin the in-depth integrated assessment of water shed resources that lead to sustainability. These goals should be formulated to address a number of fundamentals principles that underlay the conservation, protection, remediation, and longevity of water resources such goals might include; (a) Provide safe, adequate water supplies at time and of the quality needed for domestic municipal, industrial, agricultural and hydropower uses. (b) Allocate effectively and fairly fresh water among diverse uses and users. During the process of these research work a questionnaire was provided to the consumers to gather information on water demand, nature of supply, use of metering system or non metering system ,illegal connection and other related information concerning the water supply in Kaduna. Similarly data for Kaduna metropolis population was collected from National population commission. The population of the study area was forecasted using the information collected from population commission. The water bill for different categories of consumers was collected from water board. All the information was gathered and a model equation was used to forecast the water consumption of Unguwan kanawa. In the result of analyses the water demand equation obtained by the regression analyses is: Qas(Y) = 0.00061 + 520 Pop(X) where Qas(Y) = Actual supply and Pop(X)=population.
