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. Keywords: water management, history, environment, Lake ChadBasin, Nigeria.
