Water Source Development
As of 2002, only 49% of rural households and 72% of urban households in Nigeria had access to an improved water source. An improved water source includes a household connection, public standpipe, borehole, protected dug well, protected spring or rainwater collection (WHO 2006).
Rural Africa Water Development Project offers solutions.
- RAWDP undertakes borehole drilling and geophysical surveys for communities and households.
- RAWDP has built spring boxes in the past in this regard. Today, water quality from this sources is monitored in-situ in order to safeguard them.
- RAWDP also monitors and protects water sources such as springs, streams and wells from pollution.
