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.
