Mapping and Characterizing Water Points in Mbeti South Location, Mbeere District

The study recommends the need to determine the recharge rate of ground water aquifers in order to guide the development of wells for sustainable water provision; mobilising people and sensitising them on the best practices for water management and use; ensuring water sources are legal and metered to facilitate efficient use, minimise wastage and raise revenue for enhancing water resources development; investing in more friendly water drawing systems to
enable women and children access water with ease; investing in more public water points to supply affordable water to all with minimal cost especially in consideration of the financially disadvantaged groups; enhancing water storage and distribution to reduce distances traveled in search of water; and sensitising the community on water sources management, protection and
effective waste disposal to avoid contamination, possible disease outbreaks and accidents.
