dc.description.abstract	Water is essential to life and its importance to the survival of all living beings cannot be overstated. Utsev and Aho (2012) asserted that water is the most important resource to human beings after air. It has been established by researchers that while man can survive for months without food, it is hardly possible to do so without water. Water is therefore, an essential commodity upon which all life on earth depends (Ugwumba and Agbo, 2015). The fact that water is highly essential to life and that its adequacy is central to civilization has been attested to by the Federal Republic of Nigeria – FRN (2004). It was noted that of the five basic human needs (water, food, health, education and peace), water is a common factor among the other four. Ntegwe (2005) considered water a natural resource of fundamental importance which supports all forms of life, creates jobs and wealth, and without which life on earth may be impossible.	en_US
