dc.description.abstractIgberen–Aboloyin Community of Ado-Odo/Ota local government Area of Ogun state, Southwestern Nigeria is susceptible to disease outbreaks due to the presence of Kurata dumpsite located in the heart of the community. Over the years, leachate from this dumpsite had percolated through the soil to contaminate the water table, rendering groundwater in this environment unfit for consumption. To ensure the availability of potable water to this community, the design of a water distribution network was made in this research. Coordinates and elevations were taken at various points in the field using the Global Positioning System (GPS). The elevation data was simulated using a mathematical function to generate a colour-coded Digital Elevation Model (DEM) depicting varying heights across the area; facilitating an easy identification of the most suitable part to site a storage tank to serve the community. The geospatial road network of the environment was imported and manipulated using architectural design software while referencing the generated Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for the pattern and structure of the terrain to produce the new water distribution network for the Igberen-Aboloyin community. Results from this study showed that the population of this community would increase to about 60 thousand by the year 2040 with a maximum daily water demand of about 8.64 million litres. The execution of this research would ensure an uninterrupted supply of this required quantity of water to the community till at least the year 2040 thereby reducing the health risk posed to the populace through the use of contaminated water. This study has been able to design a distribution channel for the inhabitants of the Igberen-Aboloyin community in Ota, Ogun State, Southwestern Nigeria which can meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 6 and 15) of “Clean Water and Sanitation” and “Life on Land” when the design is implemented.
