An adequate supply ofsafe and clean water is the most important precondition for sustaining human life, for maintaining ecosystems that support all life and for achieving sustainable development. The scenario of water resources in the earth revels that though the resources are abundant in quantity, the amount of availability is very less. Water resources are becoming increasingly scarce in many parts of the world due to development, increased demand, climate change and resulting drought and explosive population growth. The availability of a reliable and clean supply of water is one of the most important determinants of our health. Thus, water consumption is a function of availability. This study deals with identification of primary water sources problems encountered in obtaining water ,usage ofthe water sources by households in the study area. Data from secondary source was obtained from journals .
