“…On the other hand, the community-based water provision can be strengthened by maintaining the existence of those who proposed the communal groundwater facilities and assisting them with the training to manage small scale water provision. The government agency can also involve universities to transfer their knowledge and enhance the capacity of either community or piped water provider to manage their water source [59]. Besides, the existing communal groundwater facilities can be upgraded by installing a pipe network to the surrounding neighborhood (e.g., one groundwater well for twenty to thirty houses) so that the water can be directly delivered without spending any effort to bring the water to the house.…”

Community-level mechanisms and strategies for managing sustainable water supply systems: lessons from Bongo district of northern Ghana

Managing sustainable water supply successfully at the local level means operating and maintaining a water supply system on a day-to-day basis so that the system continuous to work and supply water as planned (Msuya and Lalika 2018;Okpara et al 2018).…”
