Subjective - The research examine water supply schemes in selected communities in Oke-Ogun area. Data were gathered through main and secondary sources. A total of 450 structure questionnaire were used through organized random sample to sturdy information by household heads in the place.

selected residential areas in Oke-Ogun area. Info were collected
through primary and supplementary sources. A total of 400
structure questionnaire were given through systematic random testing to stable information via household minds
in the region. The study shows that female respondents had been
higher than guys, and vast majority engaged in farming activities with low cash flow. Hand-pump bore holes and boreholes were the

INTRODUCTION
S
uccessful community management requires that
very clear ownership from the water devices be identified.
Ownership problems lie at the heart of the seeming
paradox that communities using firm histories of internal
normal water resource administration for organic system including
irrigation devices are often not really successful in managing
water supply systems (Schouten and Moriarty, 2003;
Renold, 1992). These kinds of is the circumstance in Madagascar, where
tiny streams utilized for irrigation of lowland grain fields
have been sustainably shared amongst communities for
foodstuff production yet most better water resources have
decreased into a condition of disrepair. Common to the
management of all property assets should be tied to
a sense of public ownership would be the inclusion of
rules and regulation had to regulate the behaviour of
water users and a guide
pertaining to water committees.
Enforcement of rules and regulations is generally the
responsibility of the water committees, throughout the
levying of some sort of social peine of excellent (Schouten
and Moriarty, the year 2003; Parry Williams, Reed and Skinner
2001).
Operation and maintenance deals
ensures the longevity and proper operating of non-urban water
system and this could be attained with
community. However , in order to ensure proper
maintenance of community hydrant schemes, presently there
should be a qualified local professionals who must have
access...
