SR6-79 Vol ume -5, SR6 (1) The Project for Review and Update of Nigeria National Water Resources Master Plan SR6 WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLAN SR6.1 Operation and Maintenance of Existing Dams SR6.1.1 Enhancement of Dam Management Constructing dams does not automatically make them work at 100% of their capacities. They are engineering structures designed to function fully with proper maintenance and operations after their completion. In other words, we need to first recognize the fact that dams are engineering structures that cannot perform as designed without proper daily management. Dams serve diverse purposes, including flood control, water supply, irrigation, and power generation. Regardless of the purpose, dams need to be managed with respect to the following basic aspects: Dam structures and facilities Reservoirs Reservoir water level control (high water/low water-level operations) The configuration of dam management for the above is as shown in Table SR6-1. According to the results of the subcontracted survey, no dam in Nigeria is properly carrying out management work that covers all the items listed above. The three major hydropower dams, namely, Kainji, Jebba, and Shiroro, as well as several other dams, are relatively well managed but not to a sufficient degree. Principally speaking, organizational structures and facilities that allow prompt and proper implementation of the above management activities must be in place at the same time when the dams are completed. As the management statuses of the existing dams are extremely poor, we propose to improve the management system starting with high priority dams by following the workflow shown in Figure SR6-1 and Table SR6-2. Table SR6-1 Configuration of Dam Management Contents Item Dam management situation in Nigeria The management of the Dam body, Administrative road, Almost no management has been done.

In Japan, establishment of “Dam Operation Rules” is mandatory for all dams constructed, according to which the administrator of each dam properly carries out daily management (for both flood control and water utilization). By referring to these rules, dams in Nigeria are considered to establish their own respective “Dam Management Manuals” that share some common contents. Based on the above, it would be proposed that the dam management manual is unified to some extent in each dam. The items that should be included in the dam management manual are tentatively proposed as shown in Table SR6-3.

So say my Igbo people. One person does not raise a child. The same goes for this study. I owe its success to many beautiful hearts I met before and during the period of my studies. I was able to embark on and complete this project because of them. Whatever shortcomings in the study, though, remain mine. I appreciate my uncle and lecturer, Chief Pius Enebeli Opene, who put in my head the idea of joining the academia. Though he did not live to see me complete this program, I want him to know that his son completed the program successfully, and that his encouraging words still guide and motivate me as I strive for greater heights. Words fail me to adequately express my gratitude to my supervisor, PD Dr. Eric A. Anchimbe. His encouragements and confidence in me made me believe in myself again, for I was at the verge of giving up.

This culture can be utilized for the Cpurpose of employment creation, environmental preservation and for social enhancement as well as serving as a unifying factor between people through psychological shaping of people's attitude. Osun consist of many cultural heritage areas which lifted it up to a stage of tourism havens in the country's tourism line. The state accorded great importance to tourism due to the fact that the Yoruba race is seen as the specie through which all human race, black and white emerged and belief to have spread all over the world beginning at Osogbo. Infact the state government have identified about 63 attractions sites through feasibility study while the inventory of the attractions proved that there are over 145 tourism attractions. The interest of this study and osun in particular is due to the uniqueness of the activities line up. This has led to the increased in the population of the tourist yearly. The attractions are not alone the center of focus but including the supporting facilities.

  • Modelling Flooding Sites Around River Niger Area of Onitsha Town Nigeria Using Remote Sensing and GIS Application Dr Sylvanus Iro, Dr C.E Ezedike
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 11, Issue 2, February-2020 1027 ISSN 2229-5518 Title; Modelling Flooding sites around River Niger area of Onitsha town Nigeria using Remote Sensing and GIS Application Dr Sylvanus Iro, Dr C.E Ezedike Abstract; Increasing frequency and severity of flooding have caused tremendous damage in Onitsha area of Nigeria, requiring more efficient and effective way to reduce the risk and damage people face. In this study, the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the study area was used in consideration of terrain's influence on flooding of the town. The Compound Topographic Index (CTI) of the area was calculated to extract areas that represent wetness, which shows areas liable to flooding. The DEM was further queried to identify the part of the town that will be flooded whenever River Niger rises to 5 metres above the current level. The result shows that of the 1226610m2 of the study area, flooding will inundate area approximately to 2400m2, representing 0.47% of the DEM cells of the total study area. The slope map indegrees identified areas with more than 890 to be safe from flood inundation when the river rises and areas less than 890 to be areas liable to flooding. The analysis of this model shows that the proposed model can be a valuable tool that will guide city planners to avoid areas that are liable to flooding being used as residential or commercial purposes and for minimising damages from flooding. Keywords: Flooding, River Niger, Remote Sensing, Geographic Information System and Digital Elevation Model.

  • The Spacio-Temporal Changes of Kiri Dam and Its Implications” in Adamawa State, Nigeria

B. L. Gadiga and I. D. Garandi Department of Geography, Adamawa State University, Mubi, Adamawa State, Nigeria [email protected]/[email protected] +2348064306660 [email protected] +2348030790726 DOI: 10.29322/IJSRP.8.8.2018.p8058 http://dx.doi.org/10.29322/IJSRP.8.8.2018.p8058 ABSTRACT This study focuses on the assessment of the spatial and temporal changes of Kiri lake between 1984 and 2016. The study used both geo-information techniques and field survey to carry out analysis on the spatial as well as the changes in the depth of the lake. Landsat TM and OLI of 1984 and 2016 respectively were digitized in order to determine the extent of surface area changes that has occurred. Field method was used in determining changes in the depth of the lake. The results revealed that the lake has reduced in both surface area and depth. The surface area of the lake in 1984 was 100.3 m2 which reduced to 57.0 m2 in 2016. This means that the surface area of the lake has reduced by 43% within the period of 32 years whereas the depth has reduced by more than half of its original depth. The original depth of which was 20 m has reduced to an average depth of 8.48 m. This revealed that an average siltation of 11.52 m has occurred within the period under study.
