The methodology adopted here is primary method and secondary method where the data collected from the 384 questionnaires distributed to six (6) selected sampled areas, namely: Zango, Sheshe, Yakasai, Shahuchi, Zaitawa and Gandu. Institutions that relate to water supply in Kano state were also summoned and investigated. The collected data were analyzed by statistical techniques and presented in the study. Also, the research concluded that the water supply in Kano municipal do not meet the demand due to some problems such as insufficient number of water treatment plant, power failure and shortage of fund and so on. Finally the research suggests solution to the identified shortcoming in water supply in the study Area. Keywords: Water Distribution, Portable, Problems, Kano State. INTRODUCTION However, field observation of the water situation in the city revealed that portable water Kano State is located in the dry zone of northern is still very much a problem. Individual have Nigeria (buffer zone), has for long been tried to invest in tap water installation in their suffering from shortage of table water. Water is homes but most of the time the taps are druid, an essential element in the maintenance of all when water runs it is in trickle and a couple of forms of life and most living organisms can hours. Apart from some problems of lack of survive only for short period without water. The adequate information for projection of needs in critical problem in the area is the provision of the city misappropriation of some of the funds portable water for human consumption and or poor management of some equipment’s also other domestic uses. The experience of shortage hindered the steady supply of water. There is a has been on the increase with increase in poor maintenance, culture and callousness of population growth both by natural increase and certain individual who damage the pipes and immigration. Even during the rainy season sabotage the government’s effort. It is this that portable water seem to be difficult in getting in the present researcher wishes to investigate some wards. Water shortage and pollution are (Baba, 1987). universal problems but are acute in developing countries. The united nation water decade The Tamburawa water works (TWW) is named (1980-1990) focused on developing countries as old and new Tamburawa, old Tamburawa and tried to encourage increased investment by Water Works commenced in 1986 with capacity the governments and donor bodies on water of 9.6 million liters (of water) and then it was project. The State is also a beneficiary of upgraded to supply 20 Million litres, and New foreign aids. From early 1970, Kano state Tamburawa water treatment plants has the government has tried to invest considerable capacity to supply 150 million liters of water to amount of money on improving the water the Kano city and its surrounding environs. situation in the state. Also it is estimated by Some of the Kano state dams located in the state some water bodies that Kano would free from are Challawa Gorge dam, Tiga dam, Thomas water shortage for the rest of the 20th century dam, Watari dam, and Kussalla dam (Abaje et and well into 21st century. al, 2012; Biswan, 1978). The two larger rivers Annals of Geographical Studies V1 ● I1 ● 2018 90 Portable Water Distribution Problems in Kano Municipal, Nigeria: Implications for Urban Agriculture found in Kano contain water throughout the year minimum of 15°.8c although sometimes during and most of the streams are seasonal in nature. the harmattan it falls down to as low as 10°c. It Tiga and Challawa dams are among the largest has two seasonal periods, which consist of four dams in Africa. These two dams were constructed to five months of wet season and along dry by Kano state government in the 1970s. These season lasting from October to April (Adamu et rivers are dammed to stored huge amount of al, 2013; KNSN, 2005). water in surface reservoirs for various purposes. The vegetation of Kano state is the semi-arid STATEMENT OF RESEARCH PROBLEM savanna. The sudan savanna is sandwitched by the sahel savanna in the north and the guinea With urban industrialization, social development savanna in the south. The savanna has been and population increase water consumption is described as the zone that provides opportunity growing. At the same time water pollution and for optimal human attainment. This is because it improper utilization are causing depletion of the is rich in faunal and floral resources, it is water resource.

The study investigates what these organizations do, what methods, techniques, and strategies they employ to identify the causes of OVC’s conditions for intervention. The study acknowledges colonization, globalization, poverty, illiteracy, and individualism as contributing factors to OVC’s conditions. However, essentially, the study identifies gross misunderstanding between paternal and maternal relatives of children to be the main factor responsible for the OVC’s conditions. This social disorganization puts the children in difficult conditions including exposure to health, educational, moral, emotional, psychological, and social problems. The thesis concludes that through “collective efficacy” the studied organizations are a perfect means for solving-problem.

    IIARD International Journal of Geography and Environmental Management E-ISSN 2505-8821 P-ISSN 2695- 1886, Vol 6. No. 3 2020 www.iiardpub.org Municipal Solid Waste Management Practices in Tarauni Local Government Area, Kano State, Nigeria Simon Stephen Mshelia, Arhyel Yusuf Mbaya & Emmanuel Galkaye Department of Geography, Federal University Gashua, Yobe State, Nigeria [email protected] Tel: 08035755461 Abstract This study has been carried out to evaluate municipal solid management practices in Tarauni Local Government Area of Kano Metropolis using the concept of sustainable development, the principles of polluter pays (PPP) and conceptual framework for stakeholders in municipal solid waste management. Primary data were generated through administration of 384 survey questionnaires and field interview questions to randomly, systematically and purposefully sampled population while secondary data were obtained from desk review of other literatures. Descriptive statistic was employed for analyses of the data. Findings reveal that 37.5% and 21.6% are of the view that the households practice the less sustainable and ineffective methods of indiscriminate dumping on land, water ways, excavated pits and also burning of wastes respectively. The result also shows that 81% depends heavily on Refuse Management and Sanitation Board (REMASAB) and do not want to pay fee for refuse collections. Similarly, 74.7% reported that the practices of waste management by REMASAB are ineffective while 50% reported that the private agencies’ practices are effective. The study furthermore, reveals that poor funding, unskilled personnel, bad attitudinal behaviour, poor supervision and access to some streets by vehicles are the challenges facing the waste management agencies. The study recommends use of bioreactor waste treatment technology, strong legislation, public enlightenment and use of contemporary methods, proper funding and supervisions for the agencies to perform optimally.
