In Africa, accessibility to drinking water is major problem for rural population. This study
analyzes accessibility to the drinking water source in two villages in Burkina Faso. Data were
obtained from household’s surveys. In total, 221 households have been surveyed. Data
analysis method is based on water accessibility of World Health Organization & United
Nations Children Fund (2017) and Howard & Bartram (2003) approach. Results show that in
Toessin village, more than half of the households have improved service or intermediate
access to wells, whereas a small percentage have access to boreholes. Slightly over half of the
households have a low service or a minimal access for the same quantities of water and
sources. No household falls under the limited service state or does not have access to wells,
whereas small number of the families do not have access to boreholes. In the Bonogo village,
nearly one third of households have improved service or intermediate access to boreholes and
a very small number of household have intermediate access to wells. The majority of the
Bonogo household’s access to boreholes fall under the basic service or a minimal access
category, whereas accessibility to wells under the same category constitute slightly over half
of the household. However, only a very small number of household in Bonogo have a limited
service or do not have access at boreholes and wells. Overall, in terms of accessibility to
drinking water sources, the majority of households in Toessin falls under the improved
service or intermediate/minimal access for wells, whilst in Bonogo, most households fall
under the basic service or minimal access to boreholes. It is necessary to dig new boreholes in
Toessin in order to improve access to the drinking water. |
