| dc.description.abstract | An inventory of water supply and distribution for Owerri and environs in the Eastern part of Nigeria has been carried nut. The Owerri cown water supply scheme was commissioned around 1960 as a battery of boreholes, with an average yield of 567.75 m3/d. In the late 1970s, the number of boreholes increased considerably. Today, this intake has been abandoned and a new impounding reservoir at a nearby stream, is the only source. The bacteriological quality of the impounding stream is below minimum standard and a treatment plant was constructed to ensure the supply of potable water. Water distribution has been enhanced through the provision of elevated water towers and ground level reservoirs. However, analysis of the available borehole data show that the yield of the Aquifer is high and that in future, Owerri should be supplied from groundwater scheme as a means of reducing overhead costs | en_US |
