Water scarcity in Enugu metropolis is well established but people need to understand the underlying reason. There's no single borehole in Enugu metropolis. Enugu is sitting on massive shale/extensive coal which is bad aquifer. It's simply economically impossible to drill borehole in Enugu, so that's why no private individual can develop borehole system in Enugu. Well water are common in some area but sometimes dry up during dry season. The adjoining Ajali formation on the Udi plateau is quite a good aquifer and has been the source of water in Enugu through private mobile tankers. Enugu has water cooperation that source water from the area under Ajali formation which are outside the city serving small percentage of the people living in the city. Developing comprehensive water system in Enugu will cost a fortune(Billions of US dollars) which explains why the problem has lingered for so long. 3 Likes |

Ezewuzie01: The town is sitting on a hill or mountain. They have alot of coal deposits in the ground. But to me, that's not an excuse because I will spend anything to have portable water. |

kponkedenge:what of laying pipes to a major distributor plan which source the water from neighboring states and also transmit to all the local governments after treatment? They can do it, they just don't want to do it because it is not affecting big men. The state can collaborate with the federal government to east this the surfering of the people. 3 Likes |

Sunday2021:The way you guys talk at times is very bad. Who and who claimed billionaire in SE. Enugu right from time has been having water scarcity issue due to the nature of the soil which makes it hard to find clean water. The residents have resorted to finding alternative means to address this challenge. U should rather blame a clueless and ineptitude government for turning deaf ears to the worsening problem bedeviling the city. Ugwuanyi is a colossal failure. Nonsense 5 Likes 1 Share |
