1.0 INTRODUCTION
Regular water supply is vitally important not only to maintain the health the community, but for the sustainability of the industry, business and agriculture. Without adequate water supplies our present society would never have evolved, and our lives today would be unrecognizable. Our dependence on treated water is now incalculable, and threats to that supply are comparable to the worst natural and man-made disaster. The volume of water consumed each day by agriculture, industry and the public are vast, requiring an enormous infrastructure to satisfy the demand. Like the other services providers, electricity, telephone and gas, the water utilities deliver their product to the home, which requires a network of distribution pipe to services each household, but unlike the other utilities these are stand alone local or regional networks, rather than integrated national supply network.
1.1 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The purpose of this report is to determine the causes of inadequate water supply and the possible remedies within Rufus Giwa polytechnic. Determination of water demand on the basis of average day and maximum day should be considered. Peak instantaneous demand can be met through proper sizing of storage facilities. Establish the purpose of the study. Why is the water supply needed? Who will use the water and for what activities? What is the problem with the current situation and how will the proposed water supply project alleviate the problem.
1.2 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This scope covers Rufus Giwa Polytechnic Owo, to know the reason of inadequate water supply in the campus and to determine the problem associate with water supply knowing the causes and effects of scarcity of water and providing proper solution that would eliminate inadequate water supply in the polytechnic community.
The guidelines assist in determining and setting objectives, developing a strategy and identifying the require planning activities for
