Water is an essential commodity which affects life and livelihoods in the universe. This study examined perceived effect of water scarcity on livelihoods in Iwoye-Ketu, Ogun State. Random sampling was used to select 80 rural households and water samples for the study. Data collected were analysed using descriptive, inferential and laboratory analyses. Findings showed that the mean age of respondents was 38 years with an average household size of four persons. The major sources of water were boreholes (97.5%) and rainwater (90.0%), the average trekking time to the water source was 24 minutes and the households requires an average of 162 litres of water per day. Water analysis’ result showed that the water has pH (6.87), total dissolved solids (0.175 mg∙dm^–3), temperature (29.9°C) and turbidity (0.6 FTU). The major causes of water scarcity include insufficient rainfall (97.5%), increased sunlight intensity (97.5%), pollution of water sources (95.0%) and increased population (93.8%). About 60% of them perceived water scarcity to have a negative effect on their livelihoods. Correlation analysis shows that there is a significant relationship between usage of water (r = 0.370, p < 0.01) and perceived effect of water scarcity. It was concluded that water available for household use is not sufficient, although it is safe but contain some elements which are not of World Health Organization standard for good potable water. It is recommended that the community should build a hub for water collection and distribution close to the village centre and the government should provide water infrastructures to increase the supply of potable water.

Woda jest podstawowym dobrem, które wpływa na życie i warunki życia na świecie. W przedstawionej pracy badano wpływ deficytu wody na poziom życia w Iwoye-Ketu w stanie Ogun. Do badań losowo wybrano 80 wiejskich gospodarstw i próby wody. Zebrane dane analizowano za pomocą metod opisowych, wnioskowania i metod laboratoryjnych. Średni wiek respondentów wynosił 38 lat, a średnia wielkość gospodarstwa – 4 osoby. Głównym źródłem wody były studnie wiercone (97,5%) i opady deszczu (90,0%). Średni czas dojścia do źródła wody wynosił 24 minuty, a gospodarstwa zużywały średnio 162 dm³ wody na dzień. Woda miała pH 6,87, sumę substancji rozpuszczonych 0,175 g∙dm^–3, temperaturę 29,9°C i mętność 0,6 FTU. Do głównych przyczyn niedostatku wody zaliczano niewystarczające opady (97,5%), silne nasłonecznienie (97,5%), zanieczyszczenie źródeł wody (95,0%) i przeludnienie (93,8%). Około 60% respondentów uważało, że niedostatek wody wywiera ujemny wpływ na ich poziom życia. Analiza korelacji wykazała, że istnieje istotna zależność (r = 0,370, p < 0,01) między zużyciem wody a odczuciem negatywnego wpływu jej braku. Stwierdzono, że woda jest dostępna gospodarstwom w niedostatecznej ilości i choć bezpieczna, to zawiera pewne składniki, które nie spełniają norm Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia ustalonych dla wody pitnej. Zaleca się, aby lokalna społeczność zbudowała miejsce gromadzenia i dystrybucji wody blisko centrum wsi, a rząd powinien zapewnić infrastrukturę w celu poprawy zaopatrzenia w wodę pitną.
