2. ASSESSMENT OF WATER AVAILABILITY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE VARIABILITY IN GORONYO RESERVOIR, SOKOTO STATE, NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

Climatic parameters are exposed to variation due to the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases. Hence, it is essential to assess the water availability and demand under the climate variation in Goronyo Reservoir, Sokoto State Nigeria. since the supply of water is one of the significant tasks in water resources management. In this study, estimation of available water, demand, and unmet demand was simulated using Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) Software with the o...

3. ASSESSMENT OF WATER POVERTY IN MINNA, NIGERIA

 

ABSTRACT

Water is explicitly linked with economic progress and developmental trajectories of most countries and regions of the world. However, inspite of its significant contribution to quality of life, public health and socio-economic development, water scarcity has continuously remained one of the most excruciating problems around the globe. In view of the disproportionate nature of water scarcity, both in space and time, coupled with urban population growth dynam...

4. COMPARATIVE STUDIES OF THE PERFORMANCE OF FILTER MEDIA MADE USING BIOCHAR AND ACTIVATED CARBON IN GREYWATER REMEDIATION

ABSTRACT

The problem of water Scarcity, water pollution and cost of accessing water for domestic needs have become growing concerns to the ever increasing global population. Waterwaterremediation has long been accepted as a viable option to mitigate water scarcity. This research examines the potentials of an environmentally friendly technique of using local but modified tropical plant materials in remediation of greywater for re-use. Column adsorption experiment was conducted using...

5. DESIGN AND USE OF A MODEL CONSTRUCTED HORIZONTAL SUBSURFACE FLOW WETLAND FOR TREATING TANNERY WASTEWATER BY MEANS OF AQUATIC PLANTS

Abstract

In this study, a Laboratory-scale Horizontal Subsurface Flow Constructed Wetland has been designed, and three replicas constructed, cultivated with selected locally available aquatic plants Phragmites australis,Polygonum salicifolium + Ipomoea carnea, respectively, with the third cell un-vegetated, and used to treat tannery effluent. The capacity or treatment efficiency or performance of the laboratory-scale Constructed Wetland in reducing the level of physicochemical param...

6. EVALUATION OF HYDRAULIC PROPERTIES AND WATER TABLE FLUCTUATION OF GBAKO AQUIFER, NIGER STATE, NIGERIA

 

ABSTRACT

Water table fluctuation of selected hand dug wells, and hydraulic properties were determined. The methods of investigation included water level measurements, laboratory tests and analysis. The results indicated that the water level values for 16 wells under study ranged from 6.30 – 7.10 m (Minimum) and 25.40 – 26.30 m (Maximum) during rainy season, while the average during the dry season was 7.60 – 8.90 m (Minimum) and 27.10 –

7. EVALUATION OF WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IN ABUJA FOR SUSTAINABILITY AND DEVELOPMENT OF APPROPRIATE ENGINEERING STRATEGY

ABSTRACT

Environmental pollution due to improperly managed wastewater has been a major challenge and of public health concern in Nigeria. Not many studies related to wastewater management have been carried out in Nigeria, hence the paucity of data on wastewater management in the country. The Wastewater Treatment Plants (WTP) in Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja are presently performing below capacity due to several problems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the wastewater man...

8. FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT OF OFU RIVER CATCHMENT IN NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to carry out a flood risk assessment for Ofu River Catchment in Nigeria. Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission Digital Elevation Model (SRTM DEM) and River Map of Africa were used to delineate the catchment boundaries in ArcGIS

10.2.2 coupled with ArcHydro and HEC-GeoHMS extensions while the stream ordering was done using the spatial analyst hydrology tool in ArcGIS 10.2.2. Stage and discharge measured from February, 2016 to January, 2017 wer...

9. GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM BASED HYDROLOGICAL MODELLING OF CLIMATE CHANGE VARIABLES ON HADEJIA RIVER SUB-BASIN, NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and Geographical Information System (GIS) based hydrological modelling was applied to Hadejia River Sub-basin- an integral of the Chad Basin in the Northern Nigeria- to determine the impacts of land use/cover dynamics on the hydrological regime of the sub-basin under the changing climate factors. The study enhanced solution with dx understanding to the complex problems in the sub-basin, with large quantities of data associated with wate...
