| Popis: | Using the PRISMA method, this systematic literature review synthesized findings from 15 studies to elucidate the key factors contributing to water infrastructure failure in Nigeria and propose evidence-based sustainable solutions. The study identified technical, financial, environmental, social, political, and institutional factors as predominant challenges in achieving water infrastructure sustainability. In response to these challenges, the researcher proposes a comprehensive ‘Sustainability Framework for Water Infrastructure’. This framework is designed to guide every stage of water infrastructure development, starting from pre-construction with an emphasis on inclusive project planning, followed by the construction phase where suitable techniques are utilized, and extending to the post-construction stage, focusing on efficient monitoring and management mechanisms. The study highlights the complexity of water infrastructure sustainability in Nigeria and underscores the urgent need for a structured and comprehensive approach to address this pressing issue. HIGHLIGHTS Analysis of causes of Nigeria's water infrastructure failure.; Reviews existing research on Nigeria's water sector and identifies sustainable solutions.; Novel Sustainability Framework for Water Infrastructure to guide future water infrastructure development.; Evidence-based recommendations for policy, practice, and future research.; Review of clean water access for UN SDG 6.1 in Nigeria.; |
