Distressed dams cost a lot of resources and inconveniences to remediate. There is paucity of data on failures and distresses of many earth dams located in the north-eastern part of Nigeria. This study was designed to determine the geological, hydrometeorological, engineering factors and soil properties responsible for the failures and distresses of earth dams. A total of 42 randomly selected earth dams spread across various geologic formations and constructed with different soil materials in north-eastern Nigeria were studied. Data were obtained on failure modes, design and construction features, operation and maintenance, dam safety instrumentations and operations using the Association of State Dam Safety Officials method. Geological and hydrometeorological data related to dam failures, distresses and functionality were obtained from Upper Benue River Basin Development Authority, States Ministries of Water Resources and Nigerian Meteorological Agency. Soil samples collected were analysed for specific gravity (Gs), particle size distribution, Atterberg limits, compaction, California Bearing Ratio (CBR), permeability, triaxial compression and consolidation tests according to BS1377. The results were analysed using descriptive statistics. The proportions (%) of failed, distressed, uncompleted and functional dams were 27, 12, 12 and 49 respectively. The failure modes were; seepage (5%), piping (8%), structural (1%), hydraulic (50%) and a combination of two or more modes in a complex manner (36%). The main causes of failure were inadequate maintenance (71%), lapses in design (9%) and poor construction (15%). On the Basement complex formations, 62, 27 and 11% of the dams were functional, failed and distressed respectively. All the dams on Gombe sandstones and Pindiga formations are functional. The status of the dams were affected by peak monthly total rainfall iii (327.1–478.8mm) where 75% of the failures and distresses occurred due to high runoff, erosion, siltation and overtopping, while 20% of the failures occurred due to excessive water loss as influenced by peak monthly total evaporation ranging from 354.6-409.7mm coupled with relatively high temperatures (39–43oC). Soil groups for constructing the earth dams in the study area ranged from poorly graded sands to silty/clayey sands. Seventy-nine percent of the failed and distressed dams have embankment materials with Coefficient of uniformity of less than 5. Sixty- five percent of failed and distressed dams have Plasticity Index of 0-7. Eighty percent of functional dams have highly compacted soils with maximum dry density ranging from 1.84 to 2.01Mg/m3. High permeability ranging from 0.018 to 0.110 m/day influenced 33% of dam failures. Consolidation tests showed a settlement of 1.18mm and 2.29mm for functional and failed dam respectively. The Gs (2.41-2.70) and CBR values (11-46%) as well as cohesion (35- 215kN/m2) and angle of internal friction (3-18o) influenced particular incidents without a trend. Geologic formations, weather conditions, lapses in design, poor construction, maintenance, operation and poor soil characteristics influenced the status of earth dams in north- eastern Nigeria. Grouting, soil stabilisation, use of rock ripraps, impervious blankets and maintenance scheduling are suggested to minimise failures and ameliorate distresses.

  • City of Franklin Department of Planning & Economic Development
    CITY OF FRANKLIN DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT City of Franklin, Indiana Comprehensive Plan Update Request for Proposals 1. Introduction The City of Franklin, Indiana, is seeking proposals from Indiana based professional consulting firms and multi- disciplinary teams to update the 2002 Comprehensive Plan. This document will guide community decision making for the next 10-15 years. This document and map exhibits will provide a framework to promote orderly development consistent with the values, goals, and objectives of the community. The current Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2002 but has become outdated and is no longer viewed as an effective policy guide. A new planning document is needed to help integrate land use, zoning, transportation, housing, environmental, economic development, and public facilities decisions and policies with the City of Franklin. 2. Background and History Franklin is the county seat of Johnson County, Indiana. Other significant nearby communities include Whiteland, New Whiteland, and Greenwood to the north, and Edinburgh and Columbus to the south. The population was 23,712 at the 2010 census. The 2000 census reported 19,463 people. The population increased by more than 50% during the 1990s. Franklin is located about 20 miles south of Indianapolis and was named after Benjamin Franklin. The government consists of a mayor, clerk-treasurer, and city council of seven members. The mayor and clerk-treasurer are elected by citywide vote. Five city council members are elected from individual districts, and two are elected at-large. Located in Franklin is Franklin College, a private liberal arts college founded in 1834 and the first in the state to admit women.

  • 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.

  • Dam Development and Disasters in Nigeria C
    International Journal of Engineering Research & Technology (IJERT) ISSN: 2278-0181 Vol. 2 Issue 9, September - 2013 Dam Development and Disasters in Nigeria C. N. Ezugwu Department of Civil Engineering, Anambra State University Uli, Nigeria. ABSTRACT Nigeria has abundant surface water bodies and good dam sites that could be utilized for dam construction to create reservoirs for various water uses including hydropower generation, flood control, water supply, irrigation, navigation, tourism, sanitation, fish and wild life development and ground water recharge. Dam development and disasters on people and the environment were examined. Various parts of our country are presently seriously ravaged by flooding. Moreover, impacts of dams and dam failures in the past were outlined. Various causes of dam failure were enumerated. Recommendations on how to avert future dam disasters in our country were also captured. Keywords: dam, reservoir, disaster, impacts, flooding IJERTIJERT 1. Introduction Water is a critical natural resource. Without it, life could not exist and people could not survive [1]. For more than 5000 years, dams have provided people with reliable sources of water for their survival. A dam is a barrier across flowing water that obstructs, directs or slows down the flow, often creating a reservoir, lake or impoundments [2]. Most dams have a section called a spillway or a weir over which, or through which, water flows either intermittently or continuously, and some have hydroelectric power generating systems installed. A dam- reservoir facility provides numerous benefits including generating electricity, direct water from rivers to canals, and irrigation and water supply systems, increase river depths for navigational purposes, to control water flow during times of flood and droughts, create artificial lakes for fisheries and recreational use, ground water recharge, etc.

The 2012 flood displaced tens of thousands of people and affected over half of the thirty six states destroying properties running into billions of naira. Farmlands and fertilizers were destroyed, settlements were totally submerged and cultural artifacts were lost. The flood was the result of many underlying factors of which the main ones were the release of water from the Lagdo Dam a reservoir located in Cameroon, and the persistent rain fall due to a changing global climate.
