Assessment of Rural Water Supply System for Domestic Use in Menz Keya Gebriel Woreda, North Shewa Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia
Water is one of our most valuable resources and it’s supremely important for human survival. The aim of this study was to assess rural water supply system for domestic use of Menz Keya Gebriel Woreda, North Shewa Zone in Amhara region, Ethiopia. This study used both qualitative and quantitative method. Data were collected from primary and secondary sources. The collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20.0 (SPSSV.20.0), linear regression model, ArcMap10.4.1, Bentley WaterCAD(SECECTED serious 6) and Laboratory tests (Planitest® Photometer 7100 and filtration aerobic plate count test) were used to see the quality of the water. The study showed that there is inadequate improved water sources, lack of accessibility due to water points are located far from the households, most water point settings are sparsely, some points are near each other and the sources of water for domestic use of participant households was spring (32.9 %) next to on- spot spring developed (33.4%). The approximate distance of water source from the house (49.9%) and time taken to fetch water (47.5%) of household respondent had reported to be 1-1.5 kilometers and 30 to 60 minutes respectively. The total domestic water demand at the end of the year 2039 would be 1.78 Million cubic meters. The maximum and minimum pressure head of hydraulic analysis was 69m and 20m respectively. The Physicio-chemical parameters results were almost safe except turbidity at sample location S4, S5, and S8, hardness at sample location S5, potassium and total coliform bacteria at sample location S7, S9 and S10 were null. The study concluded that water supply system for domestic use is faced with major challenges like inadequate improved water sources, lack of accessibility, lack of skilled manpower, lack of groundwater, and topographical problem, no transportation, and drought. To have adequate and sustainable water supply for the community the Woreda Water and Energy Bureau had better to develop new additional water schemes with pump along with repair and rehabilitating non- functional, build a storage reservoir within reasonable distances from two or more water sources, made privet house connection system and use household rainwater harvesting system are better to meet future water demand of the Woreda.
