The Spacio-Temporal Changes of Kiri Dam and Its Implications” in Adamawa State, Nigeria
International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2018 469 ISSN 2250-3153 “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. -
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). -

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. -

An Assessment of the Impact of Livestock Grazing on Riparian Ecosystem Along Gongola River, Dadin Kowa Yamaltu/Deba Local Government Area, Gombe State, Nigeria
Jalingo Journal of Social And Management Sciences Volume 1, issue 2 April , 2019 An Assessment of the Impact of Livestock Grazing on Riparian Ecosystem along Gongola River, Dadin Kowa Yamaltu/Deba Local Government Area, Gombe State, Nigeria Lazarus A. Mbaya and Oruonye E. D. Department of Geography, Gombe State University, Gombe, Nigeria Department of Geography, Taraba State University, Jalingo, Nigeria E-mail Address: [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Grazing of livestock is the most widespread land-use practice in Northern part of Nigeria, occupying about 60% of the land surface. These activities are usually carried out along river channels and therefore, impact to a considerable extent on the riparian ecosystem. This study assesses the effects of livestock grazing on riparian ecosystem along Gongola River at Dadin Kowa, Yamaltu Deba LGA, Gombe State, Nigeria. Water samples and laboratory test, field measurements and observation of vegetation species were employed in the study. Descriptive and inferential statistics i.e. T-test was used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that, shrubs are the dominant plant species with 23.17%, followed by neem (Azadiractha indica) 18.30%, Herbs dominating 17.07%, and Mango (magnifera indica) 13.41%. A t-test analysis reveals that there is significant difference in the height and diameter of trees with t-value of 9.087. Plant species that are palatable to animals have witnessed degradation through looping and trampling hence their survivals are at risks. While the largest livestock composition are mainly cows constituting about 52.72%, followed by sheep 40%. Apart from polluting the water, the livestock routes and riparian corridors are characterized by erosion thereby increasing to the siltation/sedimentation of the Gongola River valley. -

Fish species were collected using line nets, cast nets, hooks and traps; weighted to the nearest gram and standard length measured to the nearest centimeter. A total 313 fishes comprising of 7 families and 11 species were identified. Family cichlidae was predominant(36.7%) represented by T. zilli (21.7%) and Oreochromis niloticus (15.0%). Family Claridae was the second highest in abundance with 24.7% represented by C. garipienus (8.9%), Clarias anguillaris (8.9%) and Heterobranchus sp. (6.7) while Protopteridae represented by Protopterus sp. was the least with 2.8%. Species diversity determined by Shannon Weiner index of diversity, Evenness index and Margalef’s index which revealed the highest value at site A of 1.45, 0.78 and 2.66 while site D had the least with 1.1, 0.64 and 1.72 respectively.
