Our study was about access on drinking water in the urban rural population of Bumba. It was about getting ways how the population of this city could organize themselves to provide drinking water for themselves, which they need for their life. In fact, in a particular way, an emphasis was put on the quality of the water that they use and its repercussion on the public health. Water, considered inaccessible and of bad quality according to the investigations, is responsible for hydric diseases. Its inaccessibility, to the population, is specially due to deterioration of the installations, to the dysfunction and long distance to the water providing wells. Water quality problems in Bumba is explained by the lack of treatment of consumption water by the majority of its population, impotence of the public powers, the e lack of voluntarism as far as improvement of population life conditions is concern, lack of mobilization and programs integration "water and health". Bad practices in Hygiene and cleaning makes populations vulnerable, mostly infants who are the most exposed to all hydric diseases (dermatosis, gales, diarrhea, intestine infections, parasitosis, etc.) "Drinking water for all" question has become, since some years, the target of many international conferences and preoccupies the whole humanity. Generally, these results reveals to us that, not only drinking water accessibility and its basic cleaning are difficult in Bumba, but also the population behavior.

Abstract: (french)
Notre étude porte sur les problèmes d'accès à l'eau potable de la population de la ville urbano-rurale de Bumba. Il s'agissait de s'apercevoir de la façon dont les populations de cette ville s'organisent pour s'alimenter en eau dont elles ont besoin pour vivre. En effet, d'une façon particulière, un accent a été mis sur la qualité de l'eau qu'elles utilisent et sa répercussion sur la santé publique. L'eau, estimée de mauvaise qualité après les investigations, est responsable des maladies hydriques. Son inaccessibilité, pour la population, est due notamment à la vétusté des installations, aux dysfonctionnements et l'éloignement des sources d'approvisionnement en eau. Les problèmes de qualité de l’eau à Bumba s'expliquent par le non traitement de l'eau de consommation par la majorité de sa population, l'impuissance des pouvoirs publics, le manque de volontarisme en matière d'amélioration des conditions de vie de la population, le manque de sensibilisation et d'intégration des programmes « eau et santé ». La mauvaise pratique en matière d'hygiène et d'assainissement rend les populations vulnérables, surtout les enfants qui sont les plus exposés à toutes les maladies hydriques (dermatoses, gales, diarrhée, infections intestinales, parasitoses, etc.). La question de « l'eau potable pour tous » est devenue depuis quelques années l'objet des grandes conférences internationales et préoccupe l'humanité entière. De manière générale, ces résultats nous renseignent que, non seulement l’accès à l’eau potable et à l’assainissement de base sont difficiles à Bumba, mais aussi le comportement de la population.
