These alternative water supply systems are not efficient and viable enough for water supply systems especially in a country with large population. The country is characterized by irregular water supply and water management laws are also weak and mostly not in conformity with today's standard and needs. Proper management and conservation of the water supply services and resource has not given adequate attention by the government. It is, therefore, important to identify such factor that inhibits the implementation of water regulations and proffer a solution to these. In a bid to provide an understanding of the effect of implementing and enforcing stringent water regulation and providing adequate water supply, we compare forecasted population with investment capital expenditure (CAPEX) for water supply by Millennium Development Goal (MDG+) targets. The result shows that in year to come, the country will significantly benefit from investing and providing regular water supply through employment availability and revenue generated through utility water bills, spending less on epidemic of water-borne diseases thereby improving the lives and health of its citizen.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Нигерия известна своей богатой растительностью и тропической погодой и наделена избыточными водными ресурсами, несмотря на это она все еще сталкивается с проблемами обеспечения всей страны чистой водой и во многом зависит от альтернативных систем водоснабжения, таких как колодцы, скважины и реки. Однако альтернативные системы водоснабжения не являются эффективными и недостаточны для систем водоснабжения, особенно в стране с большим населением, в связи с чем водоснабжение имеет нерегулярный характер. Законы об управлении водными ресурсами также слабы и в основном не соответствуют сегодняшним стандартам и потребностям. Правительство не уделяет должного внимания надлежащему управлению и сохранению услуг и ресурсов водоснабжения. По этой причине важно выявить фактор, который препятствует осуществлению правил водоснабжения, и предложить решение проблемы. В стремлении понять последствия внедрения и обеспечения строгого регулирования в области водоснабжения с целью надлежащего водоснабжения страны, мы сравниваем прогнозируемую численность населения с инвестиционными капиталовложениями (CAPEX) в водоснабжение в соответствии с целями развития тысячелетия (ЦРТ +). Результаты показывают, что в предстоящем году страна получит значительную выгоду от инвестиций и обеспечения регулярного водоснабжения благодаря наличию рабочих мест и доходов, получаемых за счет коммунальных вод, затрачивая при этом меньше средств на эпидемические болезни, передаваемые через воду, при этом улучшая жизнь и здоровье своих граждан.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>water supply</kwd><kwd>regulations</kwd><kwd>implementations</kwd><kwd>investment</kwd><kwd>benefits</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>водоснабжение</kwd><kwd>регулирование</kwd><kwd>внедрение</kwd><kwd>инвестиции</kwd><kwd>льготы</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">The World Bank Group.
