“…These ugly scenarios suggest that without scaling-up various water intervention programs to address these challenges, potential catastrophic risks are transferred to future generations and developing countries may become alienated from sustainable development. Contaminated drinking water and poor sanitation were reported to rank third in the list of the twenty leading health risk factors in developing nations [10][11]. Recently, the quality of water from local wells was reported to be unsafe for human consumption except when treated [12].…”

“…Limited access to safe drinking water in Nigeria and many other sub-Saharan African countries is a serious problem as 37% of people in the region and 58% of people in rural Nigeria lack access to it (Onabolu et al 2011). Contaminated drinking water and poor sanitation were reported to rank third in the list of the 20 leading health risk factors in developing nations (WHO 2003;Olaoye and Onilude 2009). Recently, the quality of water from local wells was reported to be unsafe for human consumption except when treated (Machdar et al 2013).…”

“…Such work would also enable more precise georeferencing of production facilities, assessment of uncertainty in regulatory databases, and thereby greater insights into groundwater abstraction, safety and management. The approach taken here could be applied in other countries with registers of regulated packaged water producers, such as Nigeria, where the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration holds similar records of certified producers [48,49].…”
