Challenges of water service delivery in sub-Saharan Africa cities The findings of the study are only valid for communities having similar characteristics as the sampled population. This information could also assist in formulating policies as well as strengthening and creating institutional frameworks that improves urban water service delivery in Kenya and other sub-Saharan African cities. Understanding consumer satisfaction can be useful in corroboration with the Water Regulatory Information System (WARIS) data to guide water service providers (WSPs) in improving their services. This article examines if income, household size, gender, education and tenancy determine water delivery satisfaction in the city. However, in Kisumu city there is limited contemporary empirical information on how socioeconomic factors of a household influence water delivery ( KIWASCO 2020). Knowledge of how household socioeconomic disparities impact urban water services is important for improvement purposes ( Abubakar 2019). Therefore, socioeconomic factors should be considered by water utility agencies during water service delivery in the city. Gender does not have significant influence on water delivery satisfaction, but the socioeconomic variables are significant predictors of water service delivery in Kisumu city. Water quality is significantly ( p < 0.05) influenced by the level of education ( β = 0.260). The results of ordinal logistic regression show that significantly ( p < 0.01) water affordability is determined by household income ( β = 2.10 ∗ 10 −5), water accessibility is determined by tenancy ( β = 0.483) and household income ( β = 2.90 ∗ 10 −5), while water reliability is influenced by household income ( β = 1.35 ∗ 10 −5). Water delivery in Kisumu city is characterized by duality where the formal city is supplied by conventional delivery, while the informal settlements are through a pro-poor model. The article is based on a descriptive research design where 384 households were surveyed and ordinal regression was used in data analysis. This article examines how household socioeconomic factors influence water delivery satisfaction in Kisumu city, Kenya. This low accessibility of potable water can be linked to socioeconomic disparities among urban dwellers. However, in Kenya, only 60% of the urban population use safely managed drinking water.

“I think this is going to live and evolve and grow.The African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (Resolution 300) recognizes accessibility to water services as a legal entitlement rather than commodities provided on a charitable basis. “We see a path forward around our water conservation, around making sure we have the water availability that we need - driven by science - cleaning up and protecting our water and watersheds,” she said. Rebecca Roose, the governor’s senior infrastructure adviser, described the plan as a set of guideposts that can help the state keep moving forward on water policy and infrastructure investments. While it offered an inventory of the state’s needs, critics said it fell short of laying out a concrete path for how to solve New Mexico’s water problems.Īside from addressing antiquated infrastructure, New Mexico’s new plan calls for cleaning up contaminated groundwater, spurring investments in desalination and wastewater treatment, and improving mapping and monitoring of surface and groundwater sources. In 2018, New Mexico rolled out a water plan that included details about policies at the time, historical legal cases and regional water plans. One proposal calls for funneling another $100 million to the state water board to disperse for shovel-ready projects. State lawmakers who attended the governor’s news conference vowed that the budget being hashed out during the current legislative session will include more money for water infrastructure projects. Water from oil and gas drilling can be viable for certain applications, and all industries - including oil and gas - have to reduce their overall use and protect current supplies, the governor said Tuesday. They contend that it will help to encourage more fossil fuel development in what is already the No. Some environmental groups have raised concerns about Lujan Grisham’s plan to underwrite development of a strategic new source of water by buying treated water that originates from the used, salty byproducts of oil and natural gas drilling. “We have the chance here to do both and that’s exactly the path we’re on.” “We don’t need to make that choice between safe drinking water and your business,” the governor said. She pointed to computer chip manufacturer Intel, which for years has been recycling the water it uses at its factory near Albuquerque.
