1. ESTIMATION OF SOIL HYDROLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS USING STRUCTURE AND TEXTURE
ABSTRACT
Hydrologic analyses often involve the evaluation of soil water in-filtration, conductivity, storage, and plant-water relationships. To de-fine the hydrologic soil water effects requires estimating soil water characteristics for water potential...
2. ASSESSMENT OF THE HYDROPOWER POTENTIAL OF GORONYO DAM IN SOKOTO STATE, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
Energy is one commodity on which provision of goods and services depend. Its availability and consumption rate is an economic index to measure the development of any community. Nigeria has limitation to power supply from the National grid which has adverse effect on the populac...
3. 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...
4. 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 re...
5. MODELLING OPTIMAL WATER RESOURCES ALLOCATION IN TIGA DAM, KANO STATE
ABSTRACT
This study focused on water allocation for different purposes in Tiga dam, using WEAP model to carry out analysis of the hydrological and meteorological information of the study area, with a view to settling the conflict between water allocation of Kano City and major irrigatio...
6. AN APPRAISAL OF THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK ON CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT OF BIODIVERSITY RESOURCES IN NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
Biological diversity-the variety within and among species and ecosystem is essential for our planet, human wellbeing, livelihood and cultural integrity of the people. Nigeria is known for its abundance of biodiversity resources endowment, it is the second largest wetland in the...
7. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIATIONS IN HYDROLOGICAL PARAMETERS AT KAINJI AND SHIRORO DAMS, NIGER STATE, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
Climate variability has been one of the major issues of the 21st century. The idea is to understand the differences in the climatic conditions and long-term catchment regimes using mean monthly seasonality indices and to explore the differences in the hydrological parameters at...
8. EVALUATION OF AQUIFER PROTECTIVE CAPACITY AND SOIL CORROSIVITY USING VERTICAL ELECTRICAL SOUNDING METHOD IN BADEGGI VILLAGE, NIGER STATE, NIGERIA.
Abstract
A geoelectric survey was carried out in Badeggi under Katcha Local Government area of Niger State with the aim of evaluating the aquifer protective capacity and soil corrosivity of the overburden units in the study area using vertical electrical sounding method. G41 Resistivity...
