MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC WATER QUALITY IN RURAL AREA.
A case of Mchombe village in Kilombero Ward
Background information
Water is the liquid descends from the clouds as rain, forms streams, lake and seas, and is a major
constitute of all living matter and that characterized by an odorless, tasteless, very slightly compressible
liquid oxide of hydrogen H₂O which appears bluish in thick layers, freezes at 0°C and boils at 100, has a
specific heat, is feebly ionized to hydrogen and hydroxyl ion and is a poor conductor of electricity and a
good solvent when it is pure(Merriam Webster 1828). According to (Akpan 1998), water is important
component of the covering about three quarter of the earth’s surface and occurs on land, underground
and in space. Since it is essential to terrestrial plant life and marine/aquatic flora and fauna, in the life of
human communities and economic activities, water is useful for sanitation, agriculture and fishery
The clean and safe water for every household has been seen for decades as a core element of basic
needs and human rights (according to Tanzania National Water Policy of 2002). Thus, in many
developing countries thousand of children under five years die every day due to drinking contaminated
water (WHO,2004).
The insufficient of safe drinking water supply, hygienic practice and adequate sanitation measure lead
to a number of diseases associated with high morbidity and mortality in the society so through
management of it will minimise the impact to the village.
Statement of Research problem
The main challenge facing rural is how to manage the public water quality effectively and sustainably.
Thus, the existing sources of water are not protected and easily could be contaminated by the livestock,
farming and washing, due to that residents experienced different water related diseases like diarrhea,
cholera, typhoid and worms. Hence the management and protection of the water sources against fecal
contamination need to be developed and implemented in the study area for improving of the local
community living standards. (Kseniia Mikova2009).
Research Objectives
This study has two types of objectives which are general objectives and specific objectives.
General objective
The broad objective of this study is to manage public water in rural area.
Specific objective
 To ensure availability and sustainable management of public water quality and sanitation for all
available and safe sanitation.
 To increase the quality of drinking clean and safe water to enhance the rural people’s access to
safe and sustainable water per day.
 To reduce morbidity and mortality rates especially under five years child mortality.
 To promote conditions for environmentally, sustainable, economically efficient and equitably
use of water resources through catchment protection
Research Questions
 How can we ensure availability and sustainable management of public water quality and
sanitation for all available and safe sanitatio?
 What methods of controlling and treating public water to be of quality for drinking, clean and
safe water to enhance the rural people’s access to safe and sustainable water per day?
 How will morbidity and mortality rates especially under five years child mortality be reduced in
the village?
 What are the conditions for environmentally, sustainable, economically efficient and equitably
use of water resources so that we can protect our water catchment area?
Research Hypothesis
1) There is no significant relationship between the use of quality water and the type of public
water generated in the study area.
2) There is no significant relationship between the use of quality water and the volume of public
water generated in the study area.
