“…However, few researchers or implementers adopted it, as the complexity and detailed skip patterns made enumerator training and data collection both timeconsuming and error-prone. These challenges have been largely overcome through the development of computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) approaches, as discussed by MacDonald et al 11 Prior to 2010, only a few articles reporting in detail or quantifying the use of multiple water sources had been published [12][13][14] but in recent years there has been a marked increase in research interest. 1,3,[15][16][17][18][19] The routine use of multiple household water sources is practiced across settings that vary in precipitation patterns, water resources, piped water availability, etc.…”

The routine use of multiple water sources to meet household water needs is widely practiced and has been reported in many developing countries. However, it is typically neglected by implementers, development organizations, and researchers who tend to focus exclusively on the "main source of drinking water." In this Perspective, we explain the nature and scope of multiple water source use (MWSU) at the household level in developing countries. We also describe the implications of MWSU for human health and water resilience, and identify key knowledge gaps, risks, and opportunities associated with MWSU. Finally, we argue that understanding MWSU is feasible for researchers and implementers and is essential for properly designing research studies and water supply projects.npj Clean Water (2019) 2:6 ; https://doi.

“…As indicated, with a mean daily global solar radiation of 4.39kWh/m 2 in the cloudiest month, these regions of Nigeria are ideal for solar powered systems, and with several companies in the Jos region offering solar PV power technologies it is already widely being used for street lighting, water pumping, and refrigeration. Table 2: Solar Resource in Central Nigeria [6,21] A further benefit of solar PV powered systems is that the seasonal variation in solar radiation match water demand; in the dry season when there is more water used there is a greater solar resource than in the wet season when there is a lower resource and less water used [2].…”

“…In these winter months, agricultural production is greatly reduced and water for drinking, cooking, washing, and bathing becomes extremely scarce. In these regions, water is obtained predominantly from streams and open wells which often dry up during the winter months, and therefore water conservation is an imperative [2]. Furthermore, when surface water resources are available, they are often contaminated, and can cause water borne illnesses such as cholera.…”

Renewable Energy, 36 (8), pp. 2220Energy, 36 (8), pp. -2226 Additional Information:• This article was published in the journal, Renewable En- Abstract: With less than 6mm of rain from November through February every year, the central regions of Nigeria are in acute need of safe and consistent water supplies for drinking and other domestic or agricultural uses. Borehole supplies are capable of meeting a significant proportion of water needs, but ongoing fuel costs to power a generator and pump add a heavy burden to already disadvantaged communities. In this study, a techno-economic analysis is carried out in order to assess the feasibility of renewable energy sources and technologies to substitute for fossil-fuel powered pumping platforms. The results indicate that there is sufficient solar resource throughout these regions to facilitate relatively cost effective water pumping solutions, as well as a potentially effective wind resource depending on the exact location of the pumping station. Although systems based on these resources have high capital costs compared to a petrol or diesel-based platforms, over a 20-year project life the analysis indicates that ongoing fuel costs for a fossil-fuel-based system greatly outweigh the increased up-front costs of renewable alternatives. In conclusion, the results indicate that if the water demand at a particular site exceeds the capabilities of a hand pump, a renewable energypowered pumping system is an attractive option, both economically and logistically in comparison to fossil-fuel-powered alternatives.

“…All these problems have been observed in a number of Third World megacities, and underscore how urbanization exacerbates climate change impacts on scarce water supplies; imposes extraordinary pressures on surrounding regions; and, outraces infrastructural capacity (UN, 2009: 32;Adekalu, et. al., 2002;Downs, Mazari-Hiriart, Dominguez-Mora, & Suffet, 2000;Gandy, 2008;Tortajada and Casteian, 2003;Yusuf, 2007;and Zérah, 2008).…”
