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. -

Regional Development Needs and Large-Scale Irrigation Projects in Nigeria: a Case Study
DOI: 10.36108/ssan/5991.07.0150 5 REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT NEEDS AND LARGE-SCALE IRRIGATION PROJECTS IN NIGERIA: A CASE STUDY Femi Olokesusi and Olusegun Aredta ABSTRACT This paper takes a critical look at the main human problems and issues involved in high technology irrigation farming communities in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Nigeria. Findings of the study provide ample evidence of rural neglect and low level of satisfaction with the irrigation experience. The harsh eco climatic conditions and degradation of the environment account largely for the weight attached to environmental problems. The results of the study also show that water development projects need to consider issues broader in scope than as conceived at the moment. Finally, water resources projects should be subjected to environmental and socio-economic impact assessment. This and other suggestions made should eliminate observed community problems and non-satisfaction with irrigation projects. INTRODUCTION Since the 1966-73 Sudano-sahelian drought in Nigeria, measures have been taken to mitigate and, if possible, neutralize the adverse consequences of this recurrent climatic 74 Annals of The Social Science Council of Nigeria, No. 7. January-December. 1995 hazard. Prominent among such measures have been the development of irrigation and water resources on a large scale (see Table l).Three major River Basin Development Authorities (RBDAs) have been operating in the region since 1973, namely: Chad, Sokoto-Rima and Hadejia-Jama'are RBDAs. The RBDAs were conceived as agents of rural development: they were set up to plan, formulate and implement comprehensive and integrated rural development programmes, with water resources development serving as the pivot or catalyst. -
Environmental Challenges and the Quest for Social Justice in Dam Communities of Nigeria
Bangladesh e-Journal of Sociology. Volume 10, Number 2. July 2013 80 Environmental Challenges and the Quest for Social Justice in Dam Communities of Nigeria Ali Arazeem Abdullahi1, Usman A. Raheem2, Saliman Tunde Saliman3. Abstract: While the Nigerian government is focusing its attention on building new dams, the problems and challenges posed by the existing dams to the people and environment across dam communities of Nigeria seem to have been neglected or glossed over. This paper examines the environmental challenges posed by existing dams and how these problems have aggravated grassroots activism and the quest for social justice in dam communities of Nigeria. The paper also examines the institutional arrangement that has been put in place by the government of Nigeria to address these agitations and how effective this might be. On the whole, the paper draws on the concept of community participation to interrogate the socio-cultural and ecologic chasm that certain large dam projects appear to have created between the state and local communities. Keywords: environment, environmental degradation, Dams; HYPADEC; Community participation, Nigeria. Background Dams, especially large ones, function to provide water and energy; they are therefore indispensable mechanisms for economic growth. Large dams4 are also centres of attraction for travelers and tourists. They provide employment for the unemployed and are rich sources of fresh fishes. Following the importance attached to large dams, reports have shown that between 30% and 40% of irrigated land worldwide depend on dams while 19% of world electricity is generated from them (World Commission on Dams [WCD], 2000). By the end of the 20th century, as many as 45,000 large dams have been built across the world (WCD, 2000) with a staggering $2 trillion spent on them (International Rivers Network, [IRN], 2003). -

Determination of Volume and Direction of Flow of Kainji Reservoir Using Hydro-Geomatics Techniques

O. Ehigiator1,*, O. S. Oladosu2 and I. R. Ehigiator – Irughe3 1 DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED SCIENCES, BENSON IDAHOSA UNIVERSITY, BENIN CITY. EDO STATE, NIGERIA 2,3 DEPT. OF GEOMATICS, FACULTY OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES, UNIVERSITY OF BENIN, EDO STATE, NIGERIA. E-mail addresses: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT Determination of volume and direction of flow of river plays a key role in determining the direction of transported materials to the downstream. Bathymetry survey which incorporate sounding to determine the depths with respect to a known bench mark together with coordinates of points referenced to a minimum of two horizontal controls are enough to fix position of points aboard a boat traversing a river during field work. In this paper, MIDAS Echo Sounder and Trimble Dual Frequency GPS was used for data acquisition. Data analysis was done with the aid of Surfer golden software. The results obtained showed a computed volume of 13200456.595Mm3, 13226766.629Mm3 and 13209519.223Mm3 for the reservoir using trapezoidal, Simpson’s and Simpson’s 3/8 rules respectively. A contour map, 3D wireframe map overlaid with grid vector maps of the river bed were produced to create a 3D effect of Kainji reservoir flow direction. -
The History and Future of Water Management of the Lake Chad Basin in Nigeria
143 THE HISTORY AND FUTURE OF WATER MANAGEMENT OF THE LAKE CHAD BASIN IN NIGERIA Roger BLEN" University of Cambridge Abstract The history of water management in Nigeriahas been essentially a history of large capital projects, which have ofkn been executed without comprehensive assessments of either the effects on downstream users or on the environment.In the case ofthe Chad basin, the principal river systems bringing waterto the lake are the Komadugu Yobeand Ngadda systems. The Komadugu Yobe, in particular, has ben impounded at various sites, notably Challawa Gorge and Tiga, and further dams are planned, notably at Kafin Zaki. These have redud the flow to insignificant levels near the lake itself. On the Ngadda system, the Alau dam, intended for urban water supply, has meant the collapse of swamp farming systems in the Jere Bowl area northmt of Maiduguri without bringing any corresponding benefits. A recent government-sponsored workshop in Jos, whose resolutions are appended to the paper, has begun to call into question existing waterdevelopment strategies andto call for a more integrated approach to environmental impact assessment.
