Cost Sharing:<br />

Most people are still ignorant of cost sharing this fact<br />

makes it difficult to involve them in project implementation.<br />

Nevertheless, sensitization seminars are conducted aimed<br />

at relaying the cost sharing message. Those in the urban<br />

area are required to meet the cost of running and<br />

maintenance.<br />

Water rights<br />

In the region there exists a problem of water right. The<br />

conflict is between domestic and irrigation water demands.<br />

Much water is being abstracted from rivers by traditional<br />

irrigation furrows without considering other water users<br />

such as for domestic and electricity generation.<br />

4.3.7 Technology:<br />

Gravity schemes are dominant in the region because of the<br />

topography of the area. A few existing pumping schemes are used<br />

mainly in lower areas. Hand pump equiped shallow wells are<br />

used in areas where water table is high. Solar energy is a recent<br />

technology and there are very few schemes of this type in the<br />

region. Table LXXXI(c) shows various types of water supply<br />

technology in common use in the region.<br />
