The Edagberi/Betterland Communities have been without a good source of water supply. The local population has lived over the years by drinking water from the Taylor Rivers without the due process of water treatment. However, a surface water scheme has never been favored and sunken boreholes have never been brought to function. The former is however, a surer means since both options require water treatment. Special design implications were the avoidance of all 'unnecessary' cost components and to take precautionary steps against possible oil spillage, which is considered as occupying the top layer of an element of flow.

Abstract


The Edagberi/Betterland Communities have been without a good source of water supply. The local population has lived over the years by drinking water from the Taylor Rivers without the due process of water treatment. However, a surface water scheme has never been favored and sunken boreholes have never been brought to function. The former is however, a surer means since both options require water treatment. Special design implications were the avoidance of all 'unnecessary' cost components and to take precautionary steps against possible oil spillage, which is considered as occupying the top layer of an element of flow.
