MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS OF RURAL WATER SUPPLY IN NIGERIAN
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 General Background To The Subject Matter
Nigeria is blessed by nature with a lot of natural resources amongst which, water is one of them. WHO (1976) confirmed that Nigeria was blessed with abundant water resources, the excess of which has been floods and erosion in many parts of the country. However, the distribution of this water resources was not evenly spread over the country. Life and other agricultural activities every year irrespective the drought that frequently occur in the northern part of the country of course man had been obtaining water for domestic and other purposes since man’s creation.
Water supply can therefore be said to be as old as man itself. Inspite of the availability of this water resources, WHO (1976) maintained that its supply to be majority of the population especially the rural area is every much inadequate.
Ilo (1993), affirmed that whenever a communally rural or urban exists, that these is already a supply of some sort, otherwise, there would not bare been people residing. He noted that rural water supply covers a wide category of schemes. Anambra state of Nigeria Edict No. (1978) simply defines rural water supply as a wide category of schemes ranging from a well width buckets supplying water to a few isolated huts to river pumping schemes from such or simple treatment as communal stand pipes to tap in individuals homes and provisions for livestock and vegetable garden Ilo (1973) however stated that various traditional means of obtaining water has been developed by individuals and communities for many centuries and that some of these systems were very much in use by various communities both rural and urban, in Anambra State and indeed, Nigeria he however maintained that the rural water supply may be inadequate in quantity. Dangerous to health, inconvenient and unreliable but basically “water is there and is being used”
The United Nations Economic Commission for African (1973) confirmed that it was only about 20% of the populations of Nigeria that have access to potable water supply. It further stated that have access to people are those that are living in the urban and semi-urban areas of the country and that even the privilege places that have access to such facilities were not being served sufficiently. This is the need for the provision of adequate water supply and sanitation is highly appreciated. And this has promoted the choice of the topic on the management and operational problems of rural water supply in Nigeria. A case study of water corporation Enugu, with a view to recommend solution which if accepted would help to solve these and as well, facilitate to the alleviation of the suffering of the people. Water corporation was established as a parastatals under Anambra State of Nigeria Edict N0. 16 of 1978. The corporations was originally charged with the statutory responsibility of supplying drinking water to all the urban as well as the rural communities of old Anambra State. It was formally the water section of then East Central State Ministry responsible of works and housing. The General Manager is responsible for the day to day running of the corporation, while the board of directors the commissioner of the controlling ministry in the absence of the governing board, is responsible for policy matters only operating eleven (11) zonal offices in the state including Enugu he stated that the corporation is principally maintained from government subventions and budget allocation for capital projects and from internally generated revenues, water tariffs, sale of metres fees etc for its day to day operations.
1.2 Problems Associated With The Subject Matter
Enugu as a growing industrial and commercial town has been without adequate supply of potable water. This potable water supply inadequacies being experienced in the rural communities of Enugu have been brought about by many factors. Despite the huge sums of money being sunk into these rural water supplies, yet water is still very inadequate.
- It has been difficult for the society to understand the extent of the aims and objectives for setting up the water corporation.
- Another problem is weather the resources both human and material are adequate.
- The attitude of water consumers has also constitute a problem.
- The instability in government constant changes in leadership is another problem.
- That has been a problem to understand that of the rural consumers.
1.3 Problems That The Study Will Be Concerned With
The purpose of this research project on the management and operational problems of rural water supply in Nigeria, a case study of water corporation Enugu is to investigate;

Can this topic “Intelligent Tutoring System” be used for Computer Science (CS) Project?
Yes it can be utilized for research — Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) is the interdisciplinary field that investigates how to devise educational systems that provide instruction tailored to the needs of individual learners, as many good teachers do. Research in this field has successfully delivered techniques and systems that provide adaptive support for student problem solving in a variety of domains. There are, however, other educational activities that can benefit from individualized computer-based support, such as studying examples, exploring interactive simulations and playing educational games. Providing individualized support for these activities poses unique challenges, because it requires an ITS that can model and adapt to student behaviours, skills and mental states often not as structured and well defined as those involved in traditional problem solving. This project work …
Can the material for “Plasminogen Stimulates Formation of Pathogenic Prion Clumps” be used as a guide for Economics Project?
Yes it can be used — Prion diseases are associated with the conversion of the normal prion protein, PrPC, to the infectious disease form PrPSc. Discrimination between these isoforms would significantly enhance diagnosis of these diseases, and it has recently been reported that PrPSc is specifically recognized by the serine protease zymogen plasminogen (Fischer et al. (2000) Nature 408, 479). Here we have tested the hypothesis that PrP is a regulator of the plasminogen activation system. The effect of recombinant PrP, either containing copper (holo-PrP) or devoid of it (apo-PrP), on plasminogen activation by both uPA and tPA was determined. PrP had no effect on plasminogen activation by uPA. By contrast, the activity of tPA was stimulated by up to 280-fold. This was observed only with …

Can the material for “Extraction and Formulation of Perfume From Lemon Grass Leaves” be used as a guide for Science Laboratory Technology (SLT) Project?
Yes it can be used — Perfume extraction refers to the extraction of aromatic compounds from raw materials, using methods such as distillation, solvent extraction, expression or enfleurage. The extracts are either essential oils, absolutes, concretes, or butters, depending on the amount of waxes in the extracted product. Heat, chemical solvents, or exposure to oxygen in the extraction process denature the aromatic compounds, either changing their odour, character or rendering them odourless. In this research, three methods namely; solvent extraction, hydro distillation and enfleurage methods were used to extract essential oil from lemongrass. Solvent extraction method yielded 2.08%, enfluerage method yielded 1.96% and hydro distillation methods yielded 0.95% essential oil respectively. From the analysis solvent extraction gave the highest yield because of the less exposure air and …
