Background of the study
Water is essential to human life, agriculture and animal husbandry, and modern industrial society. The absence of water precludes human existence. People must have access to adequate amounts of water as well as clean water that does not harm them when drunk. Both the quantity and quality of water are important. Reuse of water is common and through this mechanism human pathogens (of animal, human, or environmental origin) can...

Statement of the Research Problem
Industrialization, discovery of crude oil as a source of fuel and most human activities have impacted the soil and water directly or indirectly. Human and other life forms depend on the soil directly or indirectly for their survival. The negative impact of crude oil pollution on the soil and other environment is overwhelming and this has led researchers in search of possible ways to ameliorate this problem using a quick, safe, beneficial, benign and...

Statement of the Research Problem
The world population is increasingly becoming urban day by day and this has been causing a lot of concerns in the last few decades. Studies have shown that rapid urban growth can lead to social, physical and environmental problems (Mundhe and Jaybhaye, 2014; Ohwo and Abotutu, 2015). Under such urbanisation conditions, farmland and forests at urban suburbs may be transformed to built-up and industrialized areas which degrades the environment. Certain...

ABSTRACT
The 21st Century has been characterised with an unprecedented rate of urbanisation. Presently, about 50% of global population are resident in cities, and this is projected to rise to 70% in year 2050. This rapid rate of urbanisation is associated with unemployment and urban food security challenges. To address the food security challenges in cities, urban residents have embraced the practice of urban agriculture – a practice which involves the production of animals an...

ABSTRACT
It is common knowledge that the end user of stream flow data may necessarily not have any prior knowledge of the quality control measures applied in their generation. Thus, this study provides an intuitive attempt to provide an independent quality indicator to boost the confidence in the use of stream flow data by developing regional flow duration curves for selected ungauged station of the upper Niger River Basin, Nigeria. Toward this end, stream flow data for seven gaugin...
