Evaluation of water supply system – Case study in Naka, Nigeriacommunity, particularly by selling water in water kiosks. Emphasis is given to thedemand driven approach rather than the supply driven one which has been applied inthe past. There are 3 pilot towns in Benue State: Naka, Lessel and Ugbokpo. The nextstep will be to implement this program in 70 other small towns of the state.1.4 Aims and objectivesThe aim of this study was to support Benue State government in its projects toincrease access to safe water supply and adequate sanitation. The subject, proposedthrough the partnership between Cranfield University and PAWS, was an integral partof the project and was concerned with evaluation of the water supply infrastructureand management in Naka, one of the pilot areas.This aim will be met by achieving the following objectives:- provide an independent assessment of quality and quantity of the watersupply- propose an expansion plan of the water facilities- do an evaluation of the needs of the WCA- monitor systems used to monitor and document water quality.This thesis is concerned with the water supply aspect only, but there should becomplementary studies in sanitation and hygiene promotion.1.5 Approach of the subjectThe evaluation process is a necessary stage allowing quantification of project impactsand adaptation of project targets. Moreover, the project is in a transition time: thewater system still belongs to the BESG but is going to be handed over to the WCAlater. So it is of particular interest to know the state of the system to determine if it canbe transferred to the community now and if it can be expanded.The scheme below describes the approach taken for the subject:Cranfield University at Silsoe 3 Florianne Bourrigault (2006)
Evaluation of water supply system – Case study in Naka, NigeriaWhat is an evaluation?How to conduct it?To what extent can it be aparticipatory evaluation?What makes a water project asuccess?What are the feedbacks from waterprojects?What are the guidelines forwater quality monitoring?What is a small town?Evaluation of the pipedwatersystem in the smalltown of Naka, NigeriaWhat are the feedbacksfrom water consumerassociations?1.6 Structure of thesisWhat has been the research done inNigeria concerning water projects?What is the current information aboutthe project in Naka?Figure 1: Approach of the subjectThe results for all these issues are included under the wide term of “evaluation of thepiped water system”, the expression “water system” involving both technical andmanagement aspects. The structure of the report does not follow linearly the previousstated objectives but takes an integrated approach of looking at the impact andsustainability aspects of the project. Chapter 2 introduces the existing literature andChapter 3 the methodology adopted. The context of the case study context is furtherdeveloped in Chapter 4. Chapters 5 and 6 concern respectively analysis of the resultsand discussion. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are presented in Chapters 7and 8.Cranfield University at Silsoe 4 Florianne Bourrigault (2006)
