Abstract | The determination of water supply to users is vital for effective water resource management and planning. This paper presents results of a study we conducted to analyse trends in treated water supplied to Kadoma city in Zimbabwe from 1992 to 2006. Data on water supplied to residents, industry and institutions were obtained from the city council records. We hypothesised that water supplied to consumers show significant variations over the 15 year period. Research findings reveal significant increasing trend for water demand (p=0.05) while for water supply the trend is not significant (p=0.31). Results also indicate that water supplied to consumers had been unreliable and inadequate in four out of the 15 years. |
