Abstract
This study assesses the major causes and challenges of inadequate quantity and quality of domestic water supply in Injibara town. Study area has the problems of insufficient domestic water supply in both quantity and quality and also distribution system has the major challenges on consumption of water supply. Therefore, the data are collected from study area, which are primary and secondary data by using interview and from various sources. Data analysis of this studying is using frequency analysis by using four phases, which are coding data, discovery of themes, organizing and defining data by code and interpretation of results.The results of this study show that existing water supply has multidimensional problems, such as lack of money and fund, the rapid growth rate of population, loss of water by leakage and lack of power to pump. The current demand and supply of domestic water supply is not balancing with numbers of town population, which is only 28.6% but 71.4% of total communities cannot gate adequate domestic water supply every day.
