dc.description.abstractThis paper examined the residential water consumption pattern in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, Nigeria. The parameters considered were volume of water use, population, numbers of toilets and number of rooms in the houses at household level of residential areas. Analysis was carried out on hourly, daily and weekly bases to obtain the trend of water usage. Daily water use has been modelled in order to establish the structural relationship between the variables and household water demand and to reveal the determinants of the variation of water use. The results showed that the average water consumption rate is 251.47 litre/capita/day, which is much more than the minimum value of 120 litre/capita/day recommended by WHO. The test on model results indicated that number of toilets; number of rooms and household population are significant and are positively related to the average daily water demand.en_US
