Water Resources Development plan and design.pptx

Ensure adequate supply for various sectors
- Prevent overuse and pollution
- Promote equity and economic growth
- Address climate risks

1. Planning for Water Resources Development for Different Uses Master's Level Presentation | Case Study: Nigeria

2. Introduction Water is essential for life, agriculture, industry, and ecosystems. Strategic planning ensures balanced water demand and supply.

3. Objectives of Water Resources Planning - Ensure adequate supply for various sectors - Prevent overuse and pollution - Promote equity and economic growth - Address climate risks

4. Steps in Water Resources Planning 1. Inventory of water sources 2. Demand assessment 3. Feasibility studies 4. Stakeholder engagement 5. Policy frameworks 6. Infrastructure design 7. Environmental impact assessments 8. Monitoring and evaluation

5. Major Water Uses: Domestic Used for drinking, cooking, sanitation. Needs high quality and reliable supply. Example: Lagos Water Corporation serves >25 million people.

6. Major Water Uses: Agriculture Largest global water user. Requires timing and volume control. Example: Hadejia-Jama'are Project supports rice/wheat farming.

7. Major Water Uses: Industry Used in manufacturing, cooling, processing. Needs steady quantity and quality. Example: Kaduna industries rely on River Kaduna.

8. Major Water Uses: Hydropower Generates electricity from water flow. Example: Kainji Dam on River Niger produces 760 MW.

9. Environmental and Recreational Uses - Maintain ecosystems and wetlands - Navigation, tourism, fishing Example: NIWA manages navigation in Niger/Benue rivers.

10. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) - Holistic approach - Considers all users and sectors - Ensures equity, efficiency, sustainability

11. Challenges in Water Planning - Competing demands - Pollution and scarcity - Climate variability - Weak monitoring and coordination

12. Case Study: Komadugu-Yobe Basin - Shared by 6 Nigerian states - KYB Trust Fund manages water use and conflict resolution - Results: Improved cooperation, restored ecosystems

13. Policy & Institutional Framework (Nigeria) - National Water Policy (2004, 2020 Draft) - FMWR, RBDAs, SWAs, RUWASSAs - Coordinated planning and conservation

14. Recommendations - Strengthen data systems - Enforce regulations - Promote collaboration - Increase investment - Enhance community roles

15. Conclusion Effective planning requires integrated, equitable strategies. Sustainable development depends on inclusive, forward-thinking water management.
