ABSTRACT
Accurate
estimation of water use is one of the challenges facing water supply sector in
our society. This is due to lack of adequate and reliable demand and supply
data. This project work examined and determined water demand at household level
in some randomly selected houses within Umudike community in Ikwuano Local
Government Area of Abia State. The study evaluated household water consumption
with the aid of structured questionnaire to sample people’s opinion in the
study area. Regression analysis was used to determine the variables that affect
household water consumption using Microsoft Excel, SPSS and STRATA8 software.
Based on tire analysis, the average daily consumption was found to be
82.441/c/d. The study also showed that income, education level and gender have
significant effect on water demand in the sampled households.
