The frequency and consequences of extreme flood events have increased in recent times, having huge impact on the socio-economic well-being nations with most significant being felt at community level. Flooding is common environmental hazard Nigeria, particularly Lokoja, frequency, intensity, extent likely to increase due effects global warming leading climate change such as sea level rise, more intensive precipitation levels, higher river discharges. While destructive impacts continue...
Between 1981 and 1994, Nigeria lost 3.7 million hectares of its forests. It is estimated that less than 4% Nigeria’s rainforest cover left. Reckless use abuse the forest reserves in lead to degradation. However, relationship between degradation climate variability has not been clearly elucidated. This study assesses trend 1986, 2002 2014 area also examines correlation using temperature rainfall parameters. Classification Landsat images (TM ETM+ 2002, OLI 2014) change analysis NDVI values...
Land use and land cover changes, mostly driven by anthropogenic activities, affect the processes of water cycle. The impacts (LU) (LC) changes between 1995 2015 on surface runoff Hadejia River System (HRS) were investigated. LULC obtained through re-classifications selected Landsat satellite images their effects peak discharges volumes assessed using hydrologic models for generation routing available within HEC-HMS. Physically-based parameters estimated from change maps together with a...
Meat is a worldwide staple food item obtained mostly from animal farms after killing and preparation in abattoirs or slaughter houses, it has played significant role human ill-health death due to the intake of improperly processed unwholesome meat. Abattoir operations generate numerous waste microbial organisms that pollute environment. This poses serious threat health quality life. Most Nigeria are characterized by poor design, obsolete facilities deteriorating The challenges posed Karu...
Sokoto State is one of the states in Nigeria that are prone to desertification. This study attempts identify and delimit areas affected by desertification three northernmost Local Government Areas State, namely: Illela, Gada Tangaza. Field was carried out verify incident occurrence menace sand deposition. A simple random sampling method with questionnaire, combined Focused Group Discussions Key Informant Interviews used derive local knowledge about transport deposition, and, its...
