CHAPTER FIVE
5.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 CONCLUSION
The role of water in modern society such as the urban centers of Nigeria cannot be over emphasized. People depend on good quality and quantity for drinking, recreation, and use in industry and for growing crops. This project work has analyzed the nature of water supply and demand in Egbejila area of Ilorin west local government, Kwara state. Field investigation showed that three sources of water are available in the study area. These are well, borehole and pipe water supply. Further analysis revealed that well and borehole are the two effective means of water supply in the study area due to the fact that almost 60% of the population in egbejila area make use of well water for activities that include cooking, washing and bathing while the remaining 40% make use of borehole for the activities that include cooking, washing, bathing and drinking due to the fact that the pipe borne water is no longer functioning.
The nature of water supply and demand in egbejila area is not encouraging due to the fact that demand has overtaken supply as the whole community depends on just one borehole as the only means of getting drinkable water every day. Also, well being the source of water for some household was able to meet their daily needs due to the fact that it supplies water throughout the year.
5.2 RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the findings, the following recommendations were made:
(1) Provisions have to be made for pipe borne water which is not available in the study area.
(2) More boreholes should be provided by the state government for people in the community to gain easy access to drinkable water
(3) There should be constant repair of damage pipes and taps by the Ministry of Water Corporation in the study area.

CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 3 ]The World Health Organization (WHO) carried out a survey in 1975 which revealed that only 22% of the rural population in developing countries had access to safe drinking water. The findings which were published in 1976, led to the declaration of 1981-1990 as the International Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Decade, by the United Nations Water Conference (Dada et al., 1988). According to IMF (2003), growing water scarcities and water pollution in developing countries alike have plunged the w ... Continue reading---
