Vertical electrical sounding (VES) was carried out to evaluate the groundwater potentials of Nigerian Union of Teachers Housing estate, Paggo, Minna. The ABEM Terrameter model SAS 4000 was used to collect the subsurface data for the evaluation of groundwater potentials. Six profiles with ten VES stations on each profile were sounded with intervals of 100 m apart. It has a maximum current electrode separation (AB/2) of 100 m. Three and four geoelectric layers were obtained which include:...

Characterizing the spatiotemporal patterns of ecosystem responses to drought is important in understanding the impact of water stress on tropical ecosystems and projecting future land cover transitions in the East African tropics. Through the analysis of satellite measurements of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), soil moisture, rainfall, and reanalysis data, here we characterize the 2010–2011 drought in tropical East Africa....

Agba Dam, which is an important source of raw water used in treatment of water for supply of potable water in Ilorin Metropolis, was evaluated for presence of bacteria, pollution level and potability. Samples were collected from four points along the course of the dam. Bacteria isolated included Enterobacter aerogenes, Salmonella enteritidis, Shigella dysenteriae, Proteus vulgaris, Enterobacter cloacae and Escherichia coli using selective media and Microbact identification system. The pH of...
