Sammendrag
It is well known that water is a natural resource without which all living things cannot exist.

It is a natural requirement for all living things to have access to water if they have to be alive.

It seems so why the 70 percent of our planet, earth, covered by water though the world

population is facing water scarcity. Such scarcity of water is urging people to use water from

unprotected sources which the world urban poor and rural population are highly affected by.

As it is known ‘water is life’ because it gives life for all, on the contrary many are dying as a

result of unsafe drinking water. The consequences of unsafe drinking water are in general

negatively affecting the environmental and socio- economic development of a nation. As the

world urban poor and rural population suffering from water, access to basic sanitation is also

a challenge to these groups of world population. The combination of poor accessibility to

potable water and basic sanitation is negatively impacting the economic, environmental, and

social condition of a country. Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries in the world whose

citizens have poor accessibility to potable water and basic sanitation. As it is in many

countries the rural population of Ethiopia is more affected by the problem of water and

sanitation than the urban population. Soddo district is one of those rural places which more

than 90 percent of the district population lives in rural areas. Michael Semero peasant

association is one of the rural peasant association which, taken as a sample study site, far lag

behind any other peasant associations in the district. In this peasant association the access to

potable water and basic sanitation is a privilege rather than rights which this paper discussed

in details the impacts of the poor accessibility to potable water and sanitation on the

economic, social and environmental condition of the area.
