Abstract:
This research sought to assess the viability of Geita's community-based water supply
initiatives. The research employed a quantitative methodology and a cross-sectional
design. The study's sample consisted of 73 respondents, and non-probability purposive
sampling was employed. Closed-ended surveys and secondary data sources were
employed to get the data. Version 27 of SPSS was used to analyse the data. The Ordinary
Least Squares (OLS) regression model became available with coefficients. According to
the analysis, community-based water supply schemes benefit from demographic factors.
Plans for community-based water delivery have also shown that water supply has a
detrimental effect on them. However, water supply networks centered in communities
have benefited from higher water usage levels. By involving the community in water
delivery designs, the study indicates that demographic characteristics were important. It
is necessary for the community to have access to a sustainable water supply that is both
safe and of high quality. To prevent the depletion of water resources for needless
community activities, water consumption levels should also be kept within the designated
limits. According to the report, in order to improve the availability of dependable water
supplies, the government should assist the utility companies. The study recommended
future research on other Tanzanian districts, with a particular focus on the Geita district.
