In addition, despite diverse discussions regarding water accessibility and the need for conservation, the literature is even scarce on the linkage between these two important constructs. Therefore, this paper examines connectedness to water and its influence on household participation in water resources conservation in Singida Municipality, Tanzania. Using a quantitative study approach with a cross-sectional survey, primary data were collected from 391 households in Singida Municipality to investigate water accessibility, considering the aspects of physical access, economic access, and cultural acceptability, as well as the number of water conservation practices households engages in. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis reveals a positive relationship between water accessibility and participation in water conservation practices (WCPs) at 1% (Z=7.34, p<0.01). The study recommends that policymakers, agencies, and water sector stakeholders need to enhance their efforts to provide clean and safe water services to all community members to uphold the right to water for everyone and increase the level of participation in water resource conservation. 2024-08-07T07:26:38Z 2024-08-07T07:26:38Z 2024 Article APA ISSN 2709-2607 https://ajernet.net/ ISSN 2709-2607 https://scholar.mzumbe.ac.tz/handle/123456789/1022 en_US application/pdf African Journal of Empirical Research |
