To analyze local condition of water utilization patterns in Lao PDR, a comparative study on water utility and sanitation condition along the local context was conducted at 2 villages in Savannakhet province and a village in Vientiane Capital in 2005. There was no city water supply in the two areas. Water utilization and the sanitation data of the Capital village in 2000 were also employed to compare change of the situation for 6 years at the place. In Savannakhet, main water sources were dug well, river, purchase-bottle water, and rainwater storage. Rainwater was common drinking source, and a half of them drink before boiling. In the capital area, main water sources were well (borehole and dug wells), purchase-bottle water both in 2000 and in 2005. Utilization of drinking water, well water was chosen firstly and the water boiling practice rates were not so different in both areas. The consumption of purchase water was higher in Vientiane than in Savannakhet. Also, it was demonstrated that the rate of purchase water increased much at the capital in these six years.}, publisher = {総合地球環境学研究所 研究プロジェクト4-2}, title = {Water utilization situations at two suburban areas in Lao P.D,R. - The cases of Lahanam district, Savannakhet and its changing pattern in Xaithani district in Vienntiane Capital -}, year = {2006} }
