Tell: +2348036938575 Abstract Increase in demand for sand and gravel mining has recently increased due to its demand in the construction of dams, roads, and building. The environmental impact of sand and gravel mining in three communities in Inyi town in Oji River Local Government Area of Enugu State has been studied using survey design. The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of sand and gravel mining in the selected communities. The objectives of the study include; to investigate the method used by the miners in mining sand and gravel in the study area and to ascertain the impact of sand and gravel mining on the environment of the study area. Data for the study was collected through questionnaire, field observations and interview. 120 copies of well- structured questionnaire were distributed to the communities. Statistical tool use in the analysis of the data was simple percentage. From the study, sand and gravel mining in the selected communities has resulted to loss/reduction of farm lands and grazing lands, loss of vegetation, loss of biodiversity and economically important tress, destruction of landscape and beauty, confrontations/conflicts amongst communities, dust, water and soil pollution.

I (Nov. - Dec. 2016), PP 58-66 www.iosrjournals.org Evaluation of Ground Water Potential Status in Nkanu-West Local Government Area, Enugu State, Nigeria *1Okonkwo A.C, 2Ezeh C.C and 3Amoke A.I 1,2Department of Geology and Mining, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu, Nigeria. 3Department of Geology, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Abia State, Nigeria. Abstract: The Evaluation of the groundwater potential status in Nkanu-west Local government area of Enugu State has been undertaken. The project area lies within latitudes 060 25I 00IIN to 060 38I 00IIN and Longitudes 0070 13I 00IIE to 0070 24I 00IIE with an area extent of about 489.4sqkm, over two main geological formations. A total of Seventy-Eight Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) were acquired, employing the Schlumberger configuration. Resistivity and thickness of aquiferous layers were obtained from the interpreted VES data. Contour variation maps of Apparent resistivity, depth, traverse resistance, Longitudinal conductance, Electrical conductivity, aquifer transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity were constructed. Computed aquifer transmissivity from VES data, indicates medium to low yield aquifer. The latter was used to evaluate the groundwater potential status. Two groundwater potential were mapped; the moderate and low potential zones. The various contour maps and groundwater potential zone map will serve as a useful guide for groundwater exploration in the study area. Keywords: Aquifer yield, Contour maps, Groundwater potential status, Resistivity, Transmissivity, Transverse resistance. I. Introduction Knowledge of groundwater potential status in regions is key useful guide to a successful groundwater exploration and abstraction.

  • WOMEN and Elecnons in NIGERIA: SOME EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE from the DECEMBER 1991 Elecnons in ENUGU STATE
    64 UFAHAMU WOMEN AND ELEcnONS IN NIGERIA: SOME EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM THE DECEMBER 1991 ELEcnONS IN ENUGU STATE Okechukwu lbeanu Introduction Long before "modem" (Western) feminism became fashionable, the "woman question" had occupied the minds of social thinkers. In fact, this question dates as far back as the Judeo-Christian (Biblical) notion that the subordinate position of women in society is divinely ordained. • Since then, there have also been a number of biological and pseudo-scientific explanations that attribute the socio-economic and, therefore, political subordination of women to the menfolk, to women's physiological and spiritual inferiority to men. Writing in the 19th century, well over 1,800 years A. D., both Marx and Engels situate the differential social and political positions occupied by the two sexes in the relations of production. These relations find their highest expression of inequality in the capitalist society (Engels, 1978). The subordination of women is an integral part of more general unequal social (class) relations. For Marx, "the degree of emancipation of women is the natural measure of general emancipation" (Vogel, 1979: 42). Most writings on the "woman problematique" have generically been influenced by the above perspectives. However, more recent works commonly emphasized culture and socialization in explaining the social position of women. The general idea is that most cultures discriminate against women by socializing them into subordinate roles (Baldridge, 1975). The patriarchal character of power and opportunity structures in most cultures set the basis for the social, political and economic subordination of women. In consequence, many societies socialize their members into believing that public life is not for the female gender.

Multi-stage and Purposive sampling procedure was used to select 60 respondents which constituted the sample size of the study. Data were obtained through the use of a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics such as frequency counts and percentages, and inferential statistics such as correlation and z-test procedure were employed for analyses of data. Findings indicated that majority of the respondents (81.67%) were at their youthful age of 16 to 45 years old. The highest household size obtained was between 4 and 9 persons per household. Majority of the respondents in the study area (53.33%) were small scale farmers and had below 6 hectares of rice farm land. Poor living conditions, low influx of income and lack of employment were the most important reasons for rural-urban migration as confirmed by the respondents in Enugu State (65.00%). In the study area, 62.68% migrated to the urban areas. A larger proportion of the respondents (60.00%) indicated that between 4 and 9 household members participated in the rice production activities.

  • An Appraisal of the Water Related Contaminants As They Affect the Environment Around the Enugu Coal Mines of Enugu State, Southeastern Nigeria
    Vol. 8(44), pp. 2023-2028, 30 November, 2013 DOI: 10.5897/IJPS2013.4053 International Journal of Physical ISSN 1992 - 1950 © 2013 Academic Journals Sciences http://www.academicjournals.org/IJPS Review An appraisal of the water related contaminants as they affect the environment around the Enugu coal mines of Enugu state, southeastern Nigeria Awalla, C. O. C. Department of Geology and Mining, Faculty of Applied Natural Sciences, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu State, Nigeria. Accepted 14 November, 2013 Enugu metropolis is within the Anambra basin, which comprises mainly sedimentary rocks of sandstone, siltstone, mudstone and shales in the Lower Benue trough and as the capital of Enugu state in Nigeria and also as one of the major municipal and industrial centers in southeastern Nigeria experiences much groundwater contamination due to coal mining activity. The Area is richly endowed with sub-bituminous three-coal seams within the Mamu Formation. It also lacks prolific and potable groundwater due to the thinning-out of the Ajali sandstone aquifer through Udi town and Ninth- mile into Enugu metropolis. Generally, the specific discharge of Ajali sandstone (17.5 m2/day) is higher than that of Mamu Formation (14.5 m2/day). This appraisal becomes necessary to acquaint the Enugu city developers on the need for the prediction and understanding of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) on the future development, management and maintenance of the mine water. The study also aims at identifying various contaminants, sources, level of concentrations, effects and control measures. Many springs, streams and seepages exist on the foot of most of the hills and ridges.
