Physicochemical and microbiological analyses of water samples from nine randomly selected hand dug-wells and River Eku were carried out using standard analytical procedures and the result were compared with WHO standards. The physicochemical parameters of the water samples analysed were within the WHO standard for drinking water, expect for pH value (9.20) obtained for River Eku which does not conform with WHO standard. Calcium has the highest value (3.35- 26.23 mg/100ml) for the major element while Iron value (0.34- 4.18 mg/100ml) was highest for the minor element. However, the water is unsafe on the account of poor microbiological quality of the water samples ( Average total bacteria and total coliform counts were 54.4 ± 20.9 per 100ml of the original water sample and 34.5 ± 14.00 per 100ml of original water samples respectively) in the area which exceeded WHO standard. It is recommended that the well water be treated to minimize acute problem of water related diseases which are endemic to man.

The multivariate (R-mode factor analysis) technique was utilized to determine the main adaptive response problems of subsistence farmers to the changing annual rainfall pattern in South-eastern Nigeria. A total of one thousand two hundred and seventy nine (1279) respondent farmers were randomly drawn from sixty (60) farming communities in Cross River, Abia and Akwa Ibom states, Nigeria, a six (6) dimensional solution from an initial fifteen (15) was arrived at accounting for almost 70% of the variations in the original problem matrix. These major problems include the lack of climate information, illiteracy, awareness problem, fertilizers and funding problems, poor agricultural and weather extension services, and difficulties in accessing official information. Non-governmental organisations and governments should be much more interested in climate change issues and act proactively to ameliorate the problem. Key words: Rainfall change, R-mode factor analysis, subsistence farmers, adaptive response.
