Houston (1992) compared. two rural water supply projects‚ in Zimbabwe and in Nigeria where groundwater was developed with boreholes. In Zimbabwe‚ the required abstraction rate was 0.2 l/s.

But what if there is access to water but the water is too contaminated? Or there is really no sufficient supply? Or the place where there is water is too far from home?

Virtually all of human uses require fresh water. 97% of the Earth’s water is salt water and only 2.5% is fresh water of which over two thirds is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. The unfrozen freshwater is mainly ground water with only a fraction on the surface. Fresh water is a renewable resource but the world usage of clean water is resulting in a steadily decreasing supply. There is a process know as Desalination which

A big project called “Big Melen and Istanbul Water Supply System” is started in 2000. In this project water is transported from Adapazarı which is 155 km far from Istanbul. In this study‚ similarity between Istanbul’s and Big Melen River’s rainfall was investigated. First of all‚ “Run Analysis” was
