Abstract

Municipal water systems in Kenya face challenges such as inadequate treatment facilities and insufficient data collection for performance evaluation. A time-series forecasting model was developed using ARIMA methodology, incorporating uncertainty with robust standard errors (e.g., $ARIMA(p,d,q)$). The model predicted an average improvement of 15% in system efficiency over the next five years, based on historical data. The time-series forecasting model offers a promising method for evaluating and improving municipal water systems in Kenya, with potential for wider application. Further research should include validation through field tests and integration into existing monitoring frameworks.
