This document summarizes meteorological data from Port Harcourt, Nigeria from 2001-2010. Some key findings:
- Port Harcourt has a rainy season from 9-10 months per year and average annual rainfall of over 185mm.
- Maximum annual evaporation was 148mm and average annual evaporation was 102mm.
- The area has shallow aquifers from 15-30m depth that are highly rechargeable by rainfall.
- Despite available water resources, there is currently insufficient potable water supply to meet demand.
This document discusses natural hazards and Hurricane Dorian. It defines natural hazards as natural phenomena that can negatively impact humans or the environment. These are classified as geophysical, like earthquakes, or biological, like disease. Hurricane Dorian caused widespread damage in the Bahamas in September 2019, with over 50 deaths reported. Infrastructure on the Abaco Islands and Grand Bahama was destroyed, leaving thousands without power, water or telecommunications. Climate change may increase the intensity of tropical storms by raising sea surface temperatures and sea levels, exacerbating damage during storms. Reducing vulnerability involves preserving coastal ecosystems, infrastructure improvements, and disaster preparedness.
Impact of flood disaster in a drought prone area – case study of alampur vill...eSAT Publishing House
1) In September-October 2009, unprecedented heavy rainfall and dam releases caused widespread flooding in Alampur village in Mahabub Nagar district, a historically drought-prone area.
2) The flood damaged or destroyed homes, buildings, infrastructure, crops, and documents. It displaced many residents and cut off the village.
3) The socioeconomic conditions and mud-based construction of homes in the village exacerbated the flood's impacts, making damage more severe and recovery more difficult.

The aims of this study include gathering and documenting the indigenous traditional norms and
knowledge of Al-Ghyoul water resources shares and distributions in selected Yemeni Region. It also studies,
analyzes, identifies common and variable practices and problems under the conditions of different
communities/regions. It also attempts to formulate appropriate actions to remedy threatening obstacles. The field
data collection for the study covered selected governorates where such traditional irrigation systems prevail like
Taiz, Bib, Hadhramaut, Shabwah. It used a descriptive approach through literature review, like documents and
reports, field observations, survey questionnaire, individual interviews with key informant (KII), and discussion
meetings with specialists, local officials, local leaders, and farmers. The study identifies some prevailing norms and
mores that characterize traditional Al-Ghyoul irrigations systems including the rules of water shares distribution,
rehabilitation and maintenance as well as conflict resolution. However, it observed some slight variation from one
location to another. Some of the inherited local customs have been changing due to the introduction of modern
technologies and socio-political changes, draught and climatic change. This in turn has negatively affected the
common indigenous irrigation practices. The study concluded with some recommendations for future
consideration.

This document summarizes a study on the effects of erosion from the Agulu-Nanka complex on local communities in Anambra State, Nigeria. Data collected through questionnaires with 154 households found that 54 households (35%) were displaced, with 235 hectares of farmland and 80 houses destroyed. The erosion has severely impacted the socio-economic conditions of residents by destroying homes and farmland, disrupting transportation, and forcing people to relocate. While various control efforts have been undertaken, more coordinated long-term efforts are needed to fully address the erosion problem and support affected communities. Recommendations include sustained government funding, reforestation programs, an erosion control appeal fund, and preventing waste from worsening the erosion

Domestic water pollution_among_local_communities_im waseem noonari
Domestic water pollution is a major problem among local communities in Nigeria. The main causes include improper waste disposal from homes, markets, abattoirs and oil spills. Homes dump sewage, trash and other wastes directly into water sources. Local markets dump food waste, cosmetics and butcher waste into rivers and wells. Abattoirs release blood and feces into waterways. Oil spills from pipelines contaminate water. This widespread pollution has led to many water-borne diseases in communities and elevated heavy metal levels in water sources. Improved sanitation, waste management education, water infrastructure funding, and enforcement of regulations are needed to address domestic water pollution in Nigeria.
Sri Lanka; Domestic Rainwater Harvesting as a Water Supply Option in Sri LankaV9X
This document summarizes domestic rainwater harvesting in Sri Lanka. It discusses that rainwater harvesting has been promoted in Sri Lanka since 1995 through various projects and organizations. Currently over 31,000 domestic rainwater systems have been established. Rainwater harvesting was successfully legalized through national policy and legislation. The quality of harvested rainwater generally meets WHO standards and has been used for both drinking and non-drinking purposes. Rainwater harvesting provides social benefits like time savings and improved water access. It remains an important supplemental water source for rural communities.

1. The document discusses two cases of opposition to dam construction projects on rivers in China. In the first case, journalists raised public concern about plans to build a dam near the Dujiangyan Dam, a World Heritage Site, leading the project to be denied.
2. The second case discusses plans for a series of 13 dams on the Nujiang River, one of China's last free-flowing rivers. Many argue the dams would damage the region's biodiversity and cultural sites.
3. The document calls on citizens to voice their opposition and help preserve China's remaining undammed rivers for environmental and cultural reasons.
Building Development Practice in Flood Prone Area: Case of Ogbaru Council Are...IJERA Editor
This study examined the practice of building development in flood prone areas and how it has contributed to the menace of flooding in Ogbaru Council Area of Anambra State Nigeria. It was a survey research where questionnaires were distributed to heads of the selected households, in addition to physical observations on buildings within the selected households. Four towns out of sixteen towns that made up Ogbaru Council Area of Anambra State were purposefully selected. From these towns, 96 households each were randomly selected and a total of 384 questionnaires were administered to the head of each household or their representative, whereas 242 copies were completed, returned and found useful, thus, giving a response rate of 62.92%. The study found that siting of buildings on waterways, flood channels/plains, inadequate/lack of drains in the compounds, lack of planning restriction/developmental control, size of the building/area occupied by the building among others contribute greatly to the incessant flood menace in the study area. The study therefore deduced that some building practices such as those identified above have the ability of exacerbating the velocity and rate of flooding in the area which turned into natural disaster, and thus, recommended strict enforcement of building and urban development laws and control in the state to reduce indiscriminate erecting of building structures on waterways, including planlessness of our emerging urban centres.

Flooding in nigeria and sustainable land developmentAlexander Decker
The document discusses flooding in Nigeria and its impact on sustainable land development, using Delta State as a case study. It finds that recent flooding has negatively impacted land development activities in Delta State. Property values are lower in flooded areas due to lower demand. Land owners also find it difficult to prove land titles in flooded areas as boundaries and landmarks may have changed. The document recommends enforcing building laws and using technology to forecast floods to reduce flooding impacts and enable sustainable land development.
In post-conflict community rebuilding, the significance of reintegration exercise
for returning displaced persons and the manner of programs put in place will
determine whether they will be sustainable reintegrated or otherwise. However, there
is little empirical documentation regarding critical questions such as: Can restoration
of vandalized sources of water supply in their communities of origin guarantee
sustainable reintegration as they return home? How can regular water supply aid
their occupation to blossom so that earning a living is not difficult? What significant
relationships exist between the background characteristics of returning migrants and
water supply as an integral part of social reintegration strategy? Using a case study
of the returning displaced persons in North-East Nigeria, this paper addresses these
questions.
The River Nile delta shallow lakes namely, Edku, Burullus and Manzala are natural wetland ecosystems, connected to fresh water sources at the south and to the open sea at the north. Throughout their relatively short geological and hydrological history, the lakes received unpolluted fresh water from the river Nile.
The article explains the nature of transboundary water management system in Central Asia and identifies the most acute deficiencies in rational use of water, which may become the potential “casus bellum” of regional conflicts and threat to water security. The article sheds light on the national interests of regional states regarding water resources. The global warming is represented in two different dimensions: as a catalyst of wars for hydro resources and as a conciliator of long- existing “hydro political” tensions in the region. Potential recommendations for peaceful and sustainable water management are also briefly stated.
Global Warming has an enormous impact on melting glaciers and ice sheets. Rising
global temperatures melt glaciers increasing the amount of seawater. A large in rise sea level across the world
poses many threats. With continuous increase of rise in water level, the area occupied by land decreases. This
paper represents the study concerning floating construction to counter the ill effects of global warming in terms
of utilisation of offshore renewable energy resources and improving an awareness to construct them.
This document summarizes a study that investigated the impact of human activities on water quality in Kaduna, Nigeria. Water samples were collected from 8 groundwater and 4 surface water sources and analyzed for various physicochemical and microbiological parameters. The results showed that many parameters exceeded regulatory limits, including electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, coliform bacteria, and lead levels. Contamination was highest near domestic, industrial, and agricultural areas. Surface water generally contained more trace elements while groundwater sources exceeded limits for more physicochemical parameters. The results indicate that human activities are negatively impacting water quality in Kaduna.
Flooding in 2012 caused significant damage in Anambra State, Nigeria. The Omambala area, comprised of 5 local government areas, was among the most severely affected. Homes, infrastructure, and public and private property worth billions of naira were destroyed or submerged. Over 7 million people across Nigeria were impacted by flooding in 2012, including 2.3 million who were displaced. The study examined the negative social, economic, and environmental impacts of flooding on the Omambala area, in order to recommend mitigation measures to improve living conditions.
The document discusses resettlement and rehabilitation resulting from development projects such as dams, mines, and protected areas. It addresses the three stages of reconstruction after resettlement: rescue, relief, and recovery. Temporary housing such as tents is used initially, followed by permanent housing. Major concerns include the psychological impact of displacement on communities, lack of consent, conflicts over resources, and inadequate compensation or rehabilitation efforts that often leave people in poverty. Case studies from China, India, Lesotho, Thailand and other countries illustrate these issues.
1) Dam removal projects in the US have helped recolonize populations of anadromous fish species like salmon. Removing dams allows fish to more easily navigate river systems and access spawning habitats.
2) While dams were widely constructed in the early 20th century for economic reasons, they are now seen as more harmful than beneficial due to their impacts on river ecology and fish populations. Fish ladders and elevators have proven largely ineffective at helping fish pass dams.
3) Recent dam removal projects have shown that removing barriers entirely is more effective for fish recovery than attempts to work around dams. As more dams come up for relicensing or decommissioning, removal is gaining acceptance as a river restoration strategy.
This document discusses water storage through reservoirs for sustainable development and poverty eradication. It notes that reservoirs have long been used to manage floods and droughts, but some groups now oppose reservoirs. However, reservoirs provide important benefits like water supply, irrigation, flood control and hydropower. They also note that South America, including Brazil, has ideal conditions for hydropower due to high rainfall but has underdeveloped water storage infrastructure compared to other regions. The author argues that sustainable development requires infrastructure investment, including reservoirs, to ensure access to water and electricity for all.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

Hydropower Resources as Target of Terrorism: Case Study of
Selected Water Bodies In Northern Nigeria.
BY
Mohammed A. Al Amin
Department of Geography Nigerian Defence Academy
----------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT -----------------------------------------------------Energy demand is a major issue facing both the developed and developing nations and is always at the front
bunning of government policy at all levels. Part of the current consideration by governments in terms of energy
security is the factor of supply stability and infrastructural safety; especially in the wake of post September 11
attacks on the United States. As the level of terrorism is increasing, so is with the attention to energy security.
This paper is therefore on attempt to analyze a sector of Nigeria’s energy source-Hydropower, within the
current security challenge facing the northern part of the country. After a through background on the issues
surrounding hydro-terrorism at the global level. The paper had explored the Nigeria’s hydropower asset and
actimately assessed its vulnerability to insurgent attacks of especially the Boko Haram terrorist that dominated
the study area. The evaluation consist of target attractiveness, vulnerability assessment, Risk assessment and the
assessment of consequences which were evaluated on the four major river-basins that hold over 90% of the
hydropower resources in the region. The study indicated the highest risks on the Hadeja-Jama’are and
Kamadugu Yobe basins. This was attributed to their geographical locations, socio-economy of the residents and
porocity of the boarders that warrants the smuggle of small arms and light weapons. Recommendations were
made on both physical and small measures to safeguard the hydropower assets involved.

I.
INTRODUCTION
Nigerian’s Hydro potential is high and hydropower currently accounts for about 32% of the total
installed commercial electric power capacity. The average large scale potential is in excess of 11,000MW.
Nigeria has considerable hydropower potential sources exemplified by her large rivers, small rivers, and
streams. Nigerian rivers are distributed all over the country with potential sites for hydropower schemes which
can serve the urban, rural and isolated communities. In order to realize these said potentials, there is the need to
carefully review these sites within the spectacle of terrorism risks, going by the current escalation of violence
particularly in the Northern part of Nigeria.There is a long history of water related violence and conflicts,
including what must be categorized as environmental terrorism targeting water resources and infrastructure. The
threat of future attack is real, but the plans for responding to such attacks appear to be inadequate especially in
the northern states of Nigeria; which is recently plagued by the Boko-Haram insurgency.It must be noted that
water as a fundamental resource for human and economic welfare and modern society depends on complex,
interconnected water infrastructure for domestic water supply as well as for generation of hydropower. It is
therefore imperative to articulate effective measures towards protecting these critical infrastructures from the
attack of terrorist in what is commonly known as environmental terrorism.Environmental terrorism as defined
by Gleck (2006) as the unlawful use of force against environmental resource or systems with benefits in the
name of a political or social objective.Some important water facilities, such as dams, reservoirs, power
equipment and transmission facilities (including flow values, turbines, generators, transformers etc) are open to
the public, for recreational visits. 65% of Nigeria’s dams and reservoirs are located in the northern part of the
country, where the activities of insurgents are at its highest ebb in recent times. The new move of government to
exploit its power generation through utilizing these water bodies makes them a clear and susceptible target for
terror.

2. Hydropower Resources As Target…
This chapter reviews history of past attacks on water bodies across the world. It then attempted to
identify the vulnerability and risks of some selected water-bodies that are planned for hydropower generation.
The purpose is to identify where productive and protective efforts are needed to reduce the risks. The chapter
also ended with recommendations on proper and appropriate safeguards to reduce the identified risks, as well as
to reduce the consequences should an event occur.
II. HISTORY OF HYDRO-TERRORISM
There is a long history of the use of water resources as both a target and tool of war and terrorism
(Gleck, 1993, 2004.) Water supplies can be poisoned; dams can be destroyed to harm downstream population or
to sabotage power generation. The recorded history of attacks on water systems goes back to 4,500 years ago,
when Ulama, king of Agos from 2,450 to 2,400 BC, diverted water from his region to boundary canals, drying
up boundary ditches to deprive the neighboring city-state of Umma of water. Similarly, in an early example of
bio-terrorism, solon of Athens besieged Cirrha around 600BC for a wrong done to the temple of Apollo and put
the poision hellebore roots into the local water supply. This reportedly caused the cirrhaens to become violently
ill and facilitated the subsequent capture of the city (Eitzen and Takafuji, 1997). Many of the recorded instances
of violence by individuals and non-state groups concerning water focused perceived inequities associated with
water development projects or controversial decisions about allocations of water, often marginalized groups
faced with the construction of water systems that appropriate local water resources have responded by
threatening or attacking those systems.
This violence may be related to both absolute deprivation, where access to the most basic needs is
denied to a group or region, and to relative deprivation, where basic needs are met, but water allocations or
control are perceived to be unfair or in equitable.In one f the earliest reported acts, an angry mob in New York
in 1748 burned down a ferry house on the Brooklyn shore of the East River, reportedly as revenge for unfair
allocation of East River water rights. Similarly, in 1840s and 1850s, groups attacked small dams and reservoirs
in the Eastern and Central USA because of concerns about threats to health and to local water supplies.
Likewise, between 1907 and 1913, farmers in the Owens valley of California repeatedly dynamited the aqueduct
system being built to divert their water to the growing city of Los Angelos (Reisner, 1993).The first reported
attack by the Palestinian National Libration Movement, Al-Fatah, was in 1965 on the diversion pumps of the
Israeli national water carrier (Naff and Matsm, 1984) and the region has seen many more examples. In 2001,
Palestinians accused Israel of destroying a water cistern, blocking water deliveries and attacking materials for
waste water treatment project (Kraelline, 2001; ENS, 2001)
Rivers and water infrastructures such as reservoirs can be easily vulnerable to this type of terrorism,
since they are publically accessible in many places. In July 1999, engineers discovered an unexploded bomb in a
water reservoir near Pretoria, South Africa. The bomb which had malfunctioned, would have been powerful
enough to destabilize a nearby military base, and a hydrological research facility from the possible rapture of the
dam’s embarkment.Motive for such attacks can be economic as well as political. In July 2000, workers at the
cellatex chemical plant in northern France dumped 5000 liters of sulfuric acid into Meuse River; when they
were denied worker benefits. More recently, a series of events in India, Pakistan, the Persian Gulf and the
Middle East have reaffirmed the attractiveness of water and water systems as targets for terrorists in a wide
range of unrelated conflicts and disputes; but with similar undertone to that of Boko Haram in northern part of
Nigeria.
III. REVIEW OF HYDROPOWER DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA
The country’s topography ranges from lowlands along the coast and in the lower Niger valley to high
Plateau in the north and Mountain along the eastern boarder. Most part of the country is linked with productive
rivers which are scattered virtually all over the country. About two-third of Nigeria falls within the watershed
of the Niger River, which empties into the Atlantic at the Niger Delta, with its major tributaries. Benue in the
Northeast, the Kaduna in the North Central, the Sokoto in the Northwest, and the Anambra in the Southeast.
There are also several rivers of Northeastern Nigeria, including the Komadugu Gana and its tributaries which
flow into Lake Chad. The lake Chad rests in the centre of a major drainage basin at the point where Nigeria,
Niger, Chad and Cameroon meet. Similarly, there is the Kainji Lake created in the late 1960s by the
construction of the Kainji Dam on the River in Nigeria. The first major work to identify potential hydropower
sites was carried out by Motor Columbus in the 1970s as shown on Table 1 below:

The first generating plant was built in Lagos in 1898 by the colonial government and was managed by
the Public Works Department (PWD). The federal government established electricity corporation of Nigeria
(ECN) through the instrument of ordinance No.15 of 1950, which was vested with the responsibility of running
the generating station, subsequently in 1962 the Niger Dam Authority (NDA) was established to built dam.
However, the first large scale hydro power station in Nigeria was built in Kainji on the river Niger with an
installed capacity of 760MW and with expansion to 1.150MW in 1968, then followed by Jebba in 1984 and
Shiroro in 1990 with installed capacity of 570MW and 600MW respectively. Table 3 below show the proposed
commissioning dates of hydroelectric schemes in Nigeria.

As the population grew and demand for energy increased, the Federal Government in the period 1982
to 2002 projected for some hydropower station for the plan period 1982-2002 to meet the increasing growth of
power requirement in the country which was then put at 20% per year. These hydro power stations are shown in

IV. OVERVIEW OF SMALL HYDRO POWER (SHP) RESOURCES IN NIGERIA
Hydropower potential sites are distributed in 12 States and in the four river basins. However, SHP
potential sites exist in virtually all parts of Nigeria. There are over 278 unexploited sites with total potentials of
734.3 MW (4). So far about eight (8) small hydropower station with aggregate capacity of 37.0 MW has been
installed in Nigeria by private company and the government as shown in TABLE 5. Some around Jos Plateau,
where there is 2MW Station at Kwall fall on N’Gell river (river Kaduna) and 8MW station at Kurra at Kura fall,
which was developed by a private company (NESCO).

TERRORISM VULNERABILITY OF SELECTED HYDROPOWER RESOURCES.
There are four major River basins in the northern part of Nigeria, which have a lot of potentials for
hydropower. These river basins are assessed based on certain factors in order to classify them on risk scales for
vulnerability to the attacks of insurgents.The first factor considered is the rate of escalation of insurgent
activities in the communities where the hydropower asset is located, then followed by the potent of ideological
and economic consideration around the river basin. The other issues factored are the closeness of the river basin
to any Nigerian boarder that could be infiltrated by illegal alliance. The last factor considered was that of
unemployment and poverty which were agreed to be push factors of indigent people into the unfortunate crime
of terrorism.Those five factors were ranked form 1 to 10 and evaluated at the studied river basins in order to
find the risks with which such hydro potentials are subjected to. The figure of 1 represents the least of risks and
10 represents highest level of risk. Table 9 below give a summary of the assessment.

There are several factors that could be considered in evaluating the vulnerability of the hydropower resources to
insurgency attacks. The choice of the factors to be considered are dependent upon the site specific it is located.
To this extent, terrorism record and proximity to boarder is considered as the site specific factors, while socioideological and poverty/unemployment were considered as the most important factors of the socio economy.
5.1
Target Attractiveness: This is an estimate of the real or perceived valued of target to insurgents.
Hydropower resources in communities were associated based on its individual attractiveness to insurgent’s
attacks. It is noteworthy to mention that not all target are of equal value to adversaries, however target
attractiveness is one factor that influences the likelihood of security event. Therefore, the target
attractiveness as shown on table ….. is having Komadugu Yobe basin with the highest risk assessment
of 32/40, then followed by Hadeja-Jama’are river basin with 30/40 and the least of which is the upper
Benue basin with 19/40. This clearly shows that even the hydropower resources of the least vulnerable
basin of the upper Benue represent a risk factor of about 50%, while the vulnerability factor of the
Komadugu basin staggered around 75%.
5.2
Vulnerability Assessment: This refers to any weakness that can be exploited by an adversary to gain
unauthorized access and subsequent destruction of the particular facility or asset. Vulnerability can
result from, but are not limited to weakness in current management practices, physical security or
operational practices. The result of our investigation on selected hydropower sites in the four river
basins of this northern states of Nigeria revealed that Sokoto-Rima basin has an aggregate vulnerability
level of 50%, the Hadeja-Jama’are river basin is assessed as having a vulnerability value of 70%,
Kamadugu-Yobe 80% and the least came from the upper Benue basin with a value of 40%.
5.3
Risks Assessment: Risk is an expression of the likelihood that defined threat will target an successful
exploit a specific vulnerability of a facility or asset and cause a given set of consequences. In order to
determine of Nigeria, several variables were used to compose an estimate. This include target
attractiveness, the depress of threat and the degree of vulnerability. This is depicted in the matrix
provided below.
www.theijes.com
The IJES
Page 58
8. Hydropower Resources As Target…
The risk indicators showed that Komadugu-Yobe basin has 90% value risk of attract from the
insurgents, which is the highest in the while of the northern states of Nigeria. The least risk value is
recorded from the upper Benue river basin with a risk value of 40%. There seems to be a relationship
between distance to the boarder and the risk value of studied hydropower resources of the studied river
basin.
5.4
Assessment of Consequences: The severity of the consequences of a security event is generally
expressed in terms of the degree of damage that would result of there was a successful attack on a
particular hydro resources. This may involve effects that are more severe than expected with accidental
risks. In order to have a clear and precise evaluation of the possible consequences of insurgent attacks
in the selected hydropower resources, the following parameters were used to evaluate the outcome i,
injuries to workers and the public ii, severe environmental damage iii, Economic loss to the
community, state, region and the nation.The result of the study indicated that both Hadeja-Jama’are
and Kamadugu Yobe river basin have 70% of severe consequences. The other four basins of SokotoRima and upper-Benue were assessed as having moderate of consequences. The severity in Kamadugu
Yobe and Hadeja-Jama’are is likely to be connected with the already fragility of the two ecosystems,
together with the high population density of the community.
VI. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
Regarding physical security of a hydropower resource, a key question is whether protective measures
should be focused on the largest hydro systems and facilities, where risks to the public are greatest, or on all,
since small facilities may be more vulnerable. A related question is responsibility for additional steps, because
the federal government has direct control over only a limited portion of the water infrastructure sector. The
distributed and diverse nature of ownership (federal, non-federal government, and private) complicates
managing risks, as does the reality of limited resources. The adequacy of physical and operational security
safeguards is an issue for all in this sector. One possible option for federal facilities (dams and reservoirs
maintained by the River Basins Development Authorities) is to restrict visitor access, although such actions
could raise objections from the public.

9. Hydropower Resources As Target…
Closure dams and reservoirs indefinitely to all fishing, hiking, and boating and blocked access to some
roads are some vital recommendations.Measures that could improve coordination and exchange of information
on vulnerabilities, risks, threats, and responses must be articulated in response to the outcomes of especially the
assessment of Komadugu-Yobe and the Hadeja-Jemaare river basins. This should be a key objective, and an
issue to relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies in the ongoing security efforts by other federal
government and non-federal entities that operate water infrastructure systems.Another identified issue is that of
duplication of roles and responsibilities.
The growing potential for duplication and overlap among agencies must be checked to allow for proper
responsibility sharing and a hitch-free coordination. Currently, for example, policies are being developed both
by federal and state governments, and both agencies are being assisted by separate advisory groups. In order to
ease this there should be a
Water Sector Coordinating Council. Similarly, information sharing and
dissemination even in this one sector are occurring through several different mechanisms. Some have
questioned the multiple authorities that exist and in particular the potential that the several mechanisms for
sharing Nigerian security information could transmit inconsistent information and make the exchange of
information more complicated, not less. Others are optimistic that the systems and agencies must be sorted
clearly into compatible and complementary networks of information sharing.
The cost of additional protections and how to pay for them are issues of interest, and policymakers
continue to consider resource needs and how to direct them at public and private sector priorities. An issue of
great interest to hydropower resources protection is how to pay for physical security improvements, since
currently there are no federal funds dedicated to these purposes. Notwithstanding, government must consider a
special funding mechanism to finance The vast Hydropower resources that are scattered across the whole
country and particularly those in the northern part; where the Boko Haram insurgency is more pronounced.
