Abstract:

Background: Geological formation's variability is responsible for spatial distribution and volume of groundwater stored in the aquifer. Groundwater availability is also determined by topography, geology, and climate, accountable for numerous natural surface indicators and groundwater availability. Objective: This paper evaluates the empirical relations between geology and sporadic groundwater levels over three geographical locations in the Sokoto basin by assessing the variability of static water level, pumping test, pumping water level and estimated yields from boreholes. Method: Hydrogeologi

Abstract:

The study examines the effect of climate variability on livestock population in the Sokoto Rima River Basin, Nigeria. The cluster sampling technique was used to administer the questionnaire to 450 farmers who were sampled from 15 agricultural settlements in fifteen local governments in the basin. Data were analysed using frequency, percentages, and multiple regression. The population of cattle and sheep decreased while that of goats increased during the period of study. However, the slaughtered cattle, sheep, and goats increased tremendously. The annual rainfall and temperature had no signific

Abstract:

Sokoto State is in Northwestern Nigeria. Geologically, it represents parts of the south eastern sector of the Iullemmedan basin and it contained important phosphorite deposits. Field study and sampling from the type locality in Sokoto cement industry indicates that the phosphate rock varies in size and colour, occurring in beds and disseminations majorly in the Sokoto Group of sediments. The field data, geology, pedology and elevation data for Sokoto state was reclassified using geospatial analysis to access their suitability for phosphate rock prospecting, ranking from the highly suitable to

Abstract:

Scarcity of water within and around Northern Nigeria is no longer a wieldy issue. There is an over reliance on groundwater, and this has led to an increase in the number of bore-holes drilled in order to augment the water needs within the study area. Unfortunately the failure of many installed bore-holes has been rampant in this area. This is due to absence of or improper groundwater investigation and interpretation of site suitability. In this study, a remote sensing approach was employed to delineate and classify groundwater potentials of the Sokoto basin. GIS-based groundwater potential map

Abstract:

Natural radioactivity is a source of continuous exposure to human beings. It originates from both extraterrestrial sources and radioactive elements in the earth’s crust. The amount of radioactivity in soil varies geographically and ggeologically across the world. In Sokoto city and it’s environs, data on the levels of natural radioactivity in soils is absent. It was therefore considered imperative to measure the activity concentration of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K in soil samples collected from various areas of Sokoto.

Abstract:

In this work, an attempt was made to estimate the depth to magnetic source and by inference, the thickness of sediments within parts of the Sokoto Basin, Northwestern Nigeria. Aeromagnetic data of Tambuwal (Sheet 50) was acquired, processed and interpreted. The regional field was separated from the total magnetic intensity (TMI) and the magnetic anomaly was obtained. The anomaly map was upward continued and divided into overlapping square grids of 27.5 km x 27.5 km. Spectral depth analysis was then carried out on each grid to infer areas of probable hydrocarbon prospects. The result of the spe

Abstract:

The study investigated the effects of rainfall and temperature variability on crop water requirements of selected food crops in the Sokoto-Rima River Basin, Northwest of Nigeria. Rainfall and temperature datasets were obtained from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) TS 3.21 of the University of East Anglia, Norwich, for a period of 70 years (1943-2012). The suitability of CRU datasets were verified by correlating the datasets with measured rainfall data of Yelwa synoptic station, from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency. Selected food crops were used for estimating supplementary irrigation water

Abstract:

Mining activities in the Iullumeden (Sokoto) basin is often heard of due to its prominence in artisanal mode of ransacking the Earth in search of minerals and metal of high economic values. The unabated demand in the growing post-industrial era have decimated any health impact that could be borne by the inhabitants of the mining communities. Dange-Shuni is an enclave of this basin that was covered in a bid to determine the gross alpha and beta radioactivity in domestic water in and around mining points. Water samples were collected and analyzed via Hidex 300 SL system of Liquid Scintillation C

Abstract:

Aim of the Study: The study's objectives were to establish the depth of the magnetic basement, identify the linear characteristics connected to the basin, and extrapolate the impact of the structure on the region's overall tectonic history. Methodology: The basin spans latitude 11o00I to 13o30IN and longitude 4o30I to 6o30IE. It is situated at the eastern part of Iullemeden basin. Results of the study revealed total magnetic intensity (TMI) range of -1503.47nT to 1224.93nT with average of -139.27nT. Residual magnetic field anomaly result showed a range between 770.25nT to 1385 95nT. Tilt deriv

Abstract:

The surface water of Nigeria is argued to be under threat in most parts of the country, especially in the rural environment where it is a main life support system. The level of surface water recession within the Sokoto-Rima River Basin in the northwest Sudano-Sahelian environment of Nigeria is assessed in the study. Interactive remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques are used to map and analyze the hydrology of the basin over a 40-year period (1965 to 2005). The results show alarming reductions in the floodplain area, as well as the lengths, orders, and densities of t
