Abstract

Water is one of the vital necessity or the need for human being and for all living things. This study was conducted to assess the existing and to forecast the future water supply and demand status of the Areka town, southern Ethiopia. A total of 196 households (HHs) were randomly selected and interviewed by using a questionnaire. To collect the required data, interview and observation were used and written documents were reviewed. Data analyzed by SPSS and Excel spread sheet. The town population was growing rapidly, but water production was low, i.e. only 720m 3 /d. This covers only 51.9% of the total population. Additional water production of 26.49 l/s (2288.7m 3 /d) was required to fill the gap. Available per capita water demand, i.e. 11.48l/c/d was small as compared to WHO basic access standard, i.e. 20 l/c/d. The total revenue water and non-revenue water from the existing water production were 525.18m 3 /d and 194.81m 3 /d, respectively. About 48% of HHs got their primary water from existing water supply lines and the remaining 52% got their primary water from non-connected sources. In order to narrow the supply and demand gap, expansion of water supply services and additional water sources should be provided.

埃塞俄比亚南部Areka镇的水供需状况

水是人类和所有生物的重要必需品之一。本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚南部Areka镇的现有供水和需求状况，并预测未来的供水和需求状况。随机抽取196户家庭进行问卷调查。为了收集所需的数据，采用了访谈和观察的方法，并对书面文件进行了审查。数据分析采用SPSS和Excel电子表格。城镇人口增长迅速，但产水量较低，仅为7.2亿立方米/天。这只覆盖了总人口的51.9%。为了填补缺口，需要增加26.49升/秒(2288.7立方米/天)的产水量。人均需水量为11.48升/c/d，低于世界卫生组织的基本用水标准20升/c/d。现有产水的总收益水和非收益水分别为525.18 m3 /d和194.81 m3 /d。约48%的卫生保健机构从现有的供水管道获得初级水，其余52%的卫生保健机构从未连接的水源获得初级水。为了缩小供需差距，应扩大供水服务和提供额外的水源。
