Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) analysis of Amansea and Ugwuoba livestock market settlements and bacteriological quality investigation of drinking water sources at Amansea, Nigeria

Fewer households in Ugwuoba than Amansea had access to improved drinking water. Most of the households in both LMSs do not have access to improved sanitation, and sanitation facilities. The faecal pollution of the borehole water sources suggests the needs for treatment of drinking water to prevent any possible waterborne outbreak in the area. Further, increased access to improved drinking water, sanitation, and sanitation facilities in both LMSs should be promoted by the relevant government agency.
