ASSESSMENT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS 6.1 AND 6.2 IN RURAL SMALL COMMUNITIES OF ONDO STATE....

"Access to potable water and sanitation, as well as effective management of freshwater ecosystems, are crucial to human health, environmental sustainability, and economic development," according to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6). As a result, finding strategies to improve water supply and sanitation in tiny settlements is a crucial part of achieving this target's goal. In order to assess SDG 6 coverage, a survey of 326 homes was undertaken in certain rural communities of Ondo State. Geophysical surveys were also conducted in the areas to determine the most likely place for groundwater abstraction. Only 12% of the homes had improved sanitary facilities, 44% had unimproved facilities, and 44% defecate in the open fields and bushes. Only 12% of those polled drank water from the central boreholes, whereas 66% drank water from the river. According to the findings of this study, providing treated borehole water with overhead storage tanks, safe water fetching points, and training the water, sanitation, and hygiene committee (WASHCOM) will improve water supply and sanitation in the rural areas investigated.
