Federal Collage of Forestry and Mechanization. Afaka, Kaduna [email protected] (08097441440) ABSTRACT: River Kaduna which serves as source of water for farming, domestic and industrial uses suffers enormous pollution as a result of industrial activities and other anthropogenic sources of contamination. The study determines the concentration of some selected heavy metal of the surface waters of River Kaduna, examines the pollution status and the implications of the heavy metal pollution on human health and the environment. The water Samples were collected using Grab method along the River Kaduna at five points – Bypass, Barnawa, Down quarters, Kakuri – Makera drains and Kudendan. Six samples during the rainy season and another during the dry season. The samples were taken to the laboratory and analyzed for chromium, Arsenic, Iron, copper, Berium, Aluminium, Cadmium, Cyanide and zinc using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The results obtained from the analysis were compared with the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended standards in order to ascertain the magnitude of pollution and the quality of the water. The concentrations of the metals were observed to be higher than WHO acceptable limits. This revealed that the river have become contaminated by heavy metals discharged into the river especially from the industries and municipal wastes and may cause serious ecological and health hazards. -

Threats to Water Resources Development in Nigeria Amah Joseph Idu* Department of Hydrogeology/Hydrology, Enugu State Water Corporation, GRA, Enugu, Nigeria

Even though these threats cut across international boundaries, this paper focuses on the Nigerian geographical boundaries. We start with the general understanding that our water resources are made up of surface and groundwater components which are hydraulically connected. Secondly, these threats arise from two causes; natural and anthropogenic. The natural causes include all those adverse fallouts from climate change and hydrological extremes: well failures in shallow aquifers due to imbalance in seasonal precipitation and abstraction in the Sahel; sea level rise with attendant salt water intrusion in the coastal aquifers, decreased discharge rate of surface waters due to soil moisture deficits. The man-made threats include industrial wastes, effluents and oil spillages. Salinization of surface and ground waters through irrigation and fertilizers. Issues of threats to water resources development in Nigeria therefore follows the trajectory of water habitats, agricultural and industrial practices. While the Sahel with less than 750 mm rainfall per annum grapples with shallow well failures, water stress due to soil moisture deficits and salinization of surface and ground waters, the tropical rainforest zone with rainfall of 1250 mm-2500 mm contends with oil spillages which endanger local sources of water supply, and sea water intrusion. -

Reed et al., (1967) and some pamphlets (species summary). Fish species composition recorded in Ajiwa dam belongs to 5 families: Bagridae (17.8%), Claridae (19.4%), Cichlidae (28.9%), Momyridae (13.8%) A.N. Sani and Schilbedae (20.0%). In addition to the 5 families of fish species in Ajiwa dam, the catches in Jibiya Department of forestry and fisheries, dam composed of Characidae (3.0%), Cyprinidae (1.0%) and Mochokidae (7.5%), while those of Zobe Usmanu Danfodiyo University dam composed of Characidae (2.5%).

Flood Frequency Analysis of Gurara River Catchment at Jere, Kaduna State, Nigeria
Scientific Research and Essay Vol.4 (6), pp. 636-646, June, 2009 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/SRE ISSN 1992-2248 © 2009 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Flood frequency analysis of Gurara River catchment at Jere, Kaduna State, Nigeria Ibrahim, H. Manta and Isiguzo, E. Ahaneku* National Centre for Agricultural Mechanization (NCAM), P. M. B. 1525, Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. Accepted 9 June, 2009 A flood frequency analysis (FFA) of Gurara River Catchment at Jere, Kaduna State, Nigeria, was carried out. Four probability distributions were used in the study namely, Extreme value type1, Normal, Exponential and Pearson type 3 distributions due to their desirable properties. The analysis was based on seventeen (17) years daily discharge data converted from gauge height readings. Partial duration series with a threshold of 273.95 m3/s, being the lowest annual maximum discharge of the 17 years annual peak flow was adapted for the FFA. A reduced variate principle was applied to fit a distribution to the generated data. Of the four probability distributions employed, Pearson type 3 distribution exhibited the best fit for the data. Key words: Flood frequency analysis, recurrence interval, reduced variate, probability distribution. INTRODUCTION Flood has been known and declared all over the world as same time when heavy rains pressured the Kainji, Jebba highly destructive. Hydrological and meteorological data and Shiroro dams located in the same middle belt region such as flow rate and rainfall are used in the engineering of Nigeria with Gurara River, to open their sluice gates design of hydraulic structures to mitigate flooding.
