Customer/Society
The people of Makurdi, Nigeria need a way to obtain clean water, but the process to supply this essential necessity must be relatively cheap to obtain due to extreme poverty conditions found in the area. Many projects have been started to supply the people of the region that havent been completed and many deaths occur each year due to consumption of what local call dirty water. It is common for anyone in the region to know someone who has died from drinking water that wasnt safe for consumption. Water is supplied to the region from the Benue River, but over the years this river has been extremely polluted. Examples are garbage being dumped into the river as well as raw sewage. For the households that do receive public water, the conditions arent much better. Many of the water treatment plants located in the city are well outdated and not properly maintained. Another condition plaguing the city system is contaminated pipes that cause the people consuming the water to become ill.
