And so what? 99% of the people living in Enugu are billionaires so they can afford to use pure water to bathe. All these useless Afonja media that will be carrying news al around. Who send you? 48 Likes 3 Shares |

It is a big shame on Enugu the capital of eastern region for a long time and designated capital of Biafra that it doesn't have ordinary water that many towns and villages in other states take for granted. A friend told me that people in Enugu hardly take their baths, they just spray perfume to cover up. 80 Likes 7 Shares |

smartasuen: Figger: Topography of the area determines the accessibility of water via borehole. A former Head of Geology Department, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Professor Smart Obioara, also aligned with both Udeogu and Ndukwe’s position. He confirmed that the geology of a particular area must be considered before a borehole drilling process commences. According to him, Enugu generally is a very bad place to drill for water and you can hardly find the rocks that can store water, although people have been making efforts and drilling wells. “If you don’t have the necessary rock, what is called an aquifer, which can contain and also be able to release water in abundance, it will be hard. If you are not within the water table, the hope of getting water is slim and even if you do, it will dry up easily,” he explained. Aquifer refers to when a water-bearing rock readily transmits water to wells and springs. The rate of recharge is not the same for all aquifers, and that must be considered when pumping water from a well. 55 Likes 6 Shares |

jmoore: You summarized it all. In addition, even when the water table is found, to drill a borehole in that location is almost up to 2-3 million . Cost of drill bits ( tens of it will be used), lengths of pipes etc. You find out that an average person can't spend that much for erecting a borehole In Enugu.

Reminds me of the day I drove through Enugu and encountered engine overheating. I took a keg intending to fetch water from nearby houses/shops/filling stations. Omo, the way they were looking at me like I was asking for some precious stone baffled me! Like play, I couldn't get water anywhere, i had to drive it like that till I got to a supermarket and bought bottles of water to fill the radiator. I got to appreciate my Niger Delta where water can never be a commodity hoarded by anyone... And they come online to chest beat all the time . 75 Likes 9 Shares |

Enugu metropolis is underlain by shale which is an aquitard, and borehole instability might be another issue due to the shaly nature of the subsurface. Running a geophysical survey before drilling, will definitely yield a good outcome on where to drill and depth to drill to. But the problem with the people is that they don't believe in spending money. I know a hotel worth millions, but there's no borehole, they buy water to refill. Drill borehole..mba. Unlike Northern politicians that commission water projects for their people in cities, towns and villages..an average Eastern politician would prefer to carry some big booty bitch than do such. Igbos ain't really smart. 34 Likes 4 Shares |
