CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF NATURE BASED SOLUTION FOR EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF GROUNDWATER IN NIGERIA
Abstract: Nature-based solutions (NBS) are stimulated and supported by nature, usage and natural processes to contribute to the improved management of water. In this study, a critical review of the groundwater resources history and management in the South western state of Nigeria was done. The aim was to identify reasons why groundwater is increasingly being exploited in recent times, and to explore ways through which the exploitation could be done sustainably …

Seismic Analysis of Elevated Intze Type Water Tank
Abstract: As known from previous occurrences, Elevated water tanks were heavily damaged or collapsed during earthquakes. This might be due to lack of knowledge about seismic behaviour of water tank or improper geometrical selection of staging patterns. The staging plays critical role in design of water tanks as in water tanks large mass is supported by slender staging. The main objective of this study is to understand the seismic behaviour of …

X Plate Damper for Seismic Response Control of the Building
Abstract: The building system causes excessive vibrations during the seismic event which can lead to the complete collapse of a building, bridges etc. resulting in damage to the structure. Hence, the safety of the structures is essential to keep the building functional during and after the effects of the earthquake. To overcome these damages, additional energy dissipation systems are considered for the seismic protection of the building. The aim of the …

Preference assessment of energy and momentum equations over 2D-SKM method in compound channels
Abstract: Gradually varied flow in channels could be assessed and investigated from both the energy and momentum equations standpoints. Depending on what method is implemented, the computational results could be different. Currently, there is an ambiguity on the preference of utilizing the energy and momentum equations standpoints. This study attempts to respond to this ambiguity and the question that among these pair viewpoints which one would provide a closer solution to …

Local water market function: A demand management strategy of water scarcity
Abstract: Local water market has permanent and seasonal activities as well as it can promote more efficient water resources and value of priority settings. Water market is a buying and selling process and it introduces a function of water scarcity with demand management strategy. Government regulations can protect water and water market needs institutional frame work, environmental sustainability, economic efficiency and roles of business.
