Abstract:
Water is an essential resource for life and good health. It is the most common, most widely distributed and most useful liquid on earth. It is the most precious natural resource that exists on our planet. As with most developing countries, access to safe water is a major challenge in Nigeria. Ground water and pipe borne (tap) water are the major sources of drinking water. These sources are said to be unsafe. Packaged and bottled water businesses in Nigeria are hindered by various challenges such as epileptic power supply, distribution problems, air and environmental pollution, integrity, or business feasibility concerns and inefficacy of government regulatory bodies etc. The aim of this research paper is to examine and discuss the hindrances to Packaged and Bottled Water Businesses in Nigeria with a view of identifying the hindrances and to extend the existing literature on hindrances to Packaged and Bottled Water Businesses in Nigeria. The main sources of data were journals, conference / seminar / text books, newspapers, and the internet sources etc., which were used to review literatures in the water business field. The result shows and discusses the hindrances affecting the packaged and bottled water businesses in Nigeria's business environment.
