INFRASTRUCTUREWater: Inventory & AnalysisWater AccessAccess to water is one of the primary components of a water infrastructure. In this region of Tanzania, water is plentiful during muchof the year (Nyundo 2006). Residents get water from both natural and man modified sources (Harrison 2006b). The availability ofwater within a reasonable proximity can directly impact development.NorthCA0 1000MetersScale 1:10,000BDWater Access in KisawasawaThe residents of Kisawasawa primarily get their water fromstreams, stand pipes, and water pumps. Only 9.5% ofhouseholds are within 20m of a water source. 31.9% arewithin 50m, while 61.9% are within 100m. This leaves 38.1%of homes further than 100m from a source of water.ImplicationsWithout access to water, villagers will suffer from a lack ofdrinking water, water for cooking, and water for householduse. Additional water sources should be constructed withinthe village. Also, new development to the east will requireadditional pipes and pumps.
