Produktbeschreibung
Nigeria is a signatory to the Millennium Development Goal (MDGs) target but the country is far below meeting its water and sanitation target. A recent report by the World Health Organisation and the United Nations Children's Fund shows that access to potable water has increased from the advent of the MDGs in 1990 from 45.6% to 64% of the population, this increase still leaves over 65 million Nigerians; a population of many African countries combine together without access to safe drinking water. On sanitation, the report indicates that there is actually decrease in access to sanitation from 36.9% to 27%, with over 23 million of Nigerians still practicing open-defecation. This means over 120 million people about two third of the country's population lack access to good sanitation. Therefore, this book attempts to uncover challenges facing the sector and proffers sustainable solution that could mitigate this trend. It also discovered that managing water efficiently would help boostthe availability of potable water supply and manage waste water. There is a huge potential to enhance water infrastructure to meet the expectation of the Sustainable development goals (SDGs).
