Abstract

In order to better understand the causes of the water crisis in Guinea's major cities despite its natural predispositions that offer it very abundant water resources, we analyze the determinants of drinking water supply using data from 1996 to 2019. After testing the stationarity of the variables, we use an Engle-Granger error-correction model estimated by ordinary least squares. The results show that water consumption, average applied tariff and urban population significantly influence the supply of drinking water in Guinea, whereas investment does not. To solve the water problem in Guinea, the results of the study suggest policies aimed at increasing water consumption, increasing tariffs and raising public awareness of rational water resource management in the short term, with substantial investment in the sector.
