It is crucial for domestic, industrial, agricultural, and recreational purposes. In urban areas, pipe-borne water provided by the government or private utilities is considered the most reliable and safe for human consumption. However, in many parts of Nigeria, including Enugu metropolis, access to pipe-borne water is limited, pushing residents to depend on alternative sources such as boreholes, wells, streams, rainwater, and sachet water. Findings revealed that most respondents rely on multiple water sources. Pipe-borne water, when available, is the safest. Borehole, well, and stream water are often contaminated and require treatment. Residents report health issues associated with water use, including typhoid and diarrhea.

Local authorities should develop a regulatory framework for borehole construction and operation, ensuring proper casing and sanitary measures. Communities should be educated about boiling or treating water from boreholes and wells before consumption...Preview Download Preview +Other Community Health project topics and materials you might be interested in»Knowledge and awareness of the effects of narcotic drug use among students of Federal Polytechnic Idah»Effect of immunization in children between the ages of 0-5 in family health centre Idah Local Government Area Kogi State»The effect of abortion on female students in College of Health Sciences and Technology Idah, Kogi»Factors influencing the attitude of women towards family planning - case study of Oke Eiri, Atan Local Government Area»Problem of pregnancy and abortion on girl child education in Nigeria»Effect of malnutrition among children under five years of age in Patigi community of Patigi local government area of Kwara state»Attitude of couple toward modern family planning practice in Birnin Gwari, Birnin Gwari local government, Kaduna state»Importance of exclusive breast feeding on the health of an infant - case study of Idah local government area of Kogi state»Knowledge of protein energy malnutrition and its prevention among mothers with children below five years of age in Ubiegbe Community Idah, Lga, Kogi state»Causes, effects and control of communicable diseases in secondary schools»The impact of community health works in elderly condition in Ungogo local government»A study on the causes, effects, prevention and control of threatened abortion among childbearing mothers ages (18-45) years in Gilead Children Hospital»Causes and effects of drug abuse among adolescent in Amede community»Assessment of prevalence malaria among the patients attending Tofa comprehensive hospital»Assessing the mother knowledge on the benefit of breast feeding among children 0 - 24 months - a case study of Matoya village Maigatari local government, Jigawa state
