This study focuses on municipal water systems in Nigeria, highlighting challenges such as inadequate infrastructure and financial constraints. We employed ARIMA (AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average) model to forecast adoption rates over a five-year period, incorporating data from municipal records in Nigeria. The ARIMA model predicted an average annual increase of 5% in the adoption rate for water treatment technologies, with robust standard errors indicating the reliability of these forecasts. Our findings suggest that timely investment and policy support can significantly enhance the uptake of advanced water management solutions. Local governments should prioritise funding for maintenance and upgrading of existing systems to improve water quality and quantity.
