Four hundred people live in the village and their homes are spread out over a wide area. Most homes have thatched roofs but the larger ones and the school have corrugated iron roofs. At present the nearest supply of clean water is 3 km away at a borehole. Many villagers pay 4000 cedis (approximately US$4) a year to use it even though it is not reliable and there are times when the water dries up. The villagers often have to queue for 2 hours to use the borehole, especially during the dry season which usually lasts from 6 to 8 months. Those villagers who do not use the borehole carry water from springs in the hills which are over 5 kms away. Four options are being considered to improve water supply for the villagers: Option 1 Build a traditional well in the village This is possible where the water is not too far below the surface. Two unskilled men can dig a well which is 10 metres deep in 7 days. Then a stonemason will need to put concrete around the top. Option 2 Harvest rainwater Fix guttering to the roofs and build storage tanks for the water to drain into. Tanks will need to be built using cement on a bamboo frame. Option 3 Pipe water from springs in the hills A spring can be dammed and water channelled down a pipe to the village where it can be stored in a large tank. Option 4 Drill a borehole in the village A team of engineers will need to bring in a mechanical drilling machine to reach the water, which is over 100 metres below the surface. Electric pumps will need to be fitted to pump up the water.

10 0453/02/O/N/13 © UCLES 2013 For Examiner’s Use 4 (a) Study Fig. 5 which contains information about a research investigation into water supply. The study area lies in the state of Rajasthan in Western India which experiences water shortages. A researcher from the University of Dehli spent a week carrying out an investigation into water supply in six villages in the Jodhpur District, each with different sources of water. Access to water varies across the six villages and sources include piped water supplies, hand pumps, wells, tanks, rivers and nadis (traditional rain harvesting structures). Information was gathered with the help of structured questionnaires at household level, through informal group discussions with the older people from the villages, and by visiting and observing the water sources. A sample of 15 to 20 households representing various socio-economic groups in each village was taken. Fig. 5 (i) Identify the country in which this research investigation was carried out. … [1] (ii) Identify three different methods by which primary data was collected. 1 … 2 … 3 … [3] (iii) Suggest why the sample of households chosen in each village had to represent different socio-economic groups. … … … [1] (iv) Describe one way in which this sample could have been chosen. … … … … … … [2]

Hypothesis 2 There is no relationship between the average amount of water used per household and the average time spent on collecting it.
