The city of Lagos taps its water from both surface and groundwater resources within the state. Even though Lagos seems to have sufficient water resources in terms of quantity, considering the amount of rainfall it receives, the several rivers that pass through it, a lot of lagos residents are still without potable water. One of the reasons for water scarcity is the high population growth.
