Abstract

This study addresses the critical issue of drinking water availability and accessibility in the Jaber area of East Medni, Jazeera State, Sudan. Access to clean and safe drinking water is essential for human well-being and public health. However, many communities, particularly in rural regions, face challenges in accessing adequate water sources. Through a comprehensive assessment, this research investigates the current state of drinking water availability, sources, quality, and accessibility in the Jaber area. By examining factors such as infrastructure, community perceptions, and socio-economic conditions, the study sheds light on the challenges and potential solutions to ensure equitable access to safe drinking water. The findings contribute to informed decision-making for water resource management and the improvement of living conditions in vulnerable communities.
