The concentration levels of Cd, Fe, Cu, Mn, Pb, and Zn in sediment samples from Wadi Al-Wala were determined in order to assess the level of contamination. Sixteen sediment samples were collected during the period from 2016.The highest concentrations of Zn, Cu and Cd originate ma...
Detailed petrographic, heavy mineral, petrofacies, and XRD investigations were conducted on nineteen sediment sample from an oxbow lake in the Ganga plain. The grains are angular to sub-rounded in shape, with some sub-rounded quartz grains. The dominant constituents of the framew...
Aim: To examine the role of geotechnical investigations in enhancing the safety and sustainability of hydropower projects. Objectives: The objectives are to examine the concepts, relevance and procedures of geotechnical investigations in hydropower projects. Discussion: Geotechni...
The goal of the present study is to identify and delineate the mineralization zones and depths of prospective mineral occurrences in Shanga (sheet 96), parts of the northwest Nigerian basement complex, by analyzing aeromagnetic data. This was accomplished by reducing the residual...

Municipal solid waste quantification and characterization form the cornerstones of an effective solid waste management strategy but in Nigerian universities, the necessary processes of collection, transportation, characterization, and disposal are terribly understudied and rarely...
Water, whether used for the purpose of drinking, irrigation, domestic purposes, has an important impact on health. Although pollution can occur naturally, it is anthropogenic (man-induced) pollution that creates more problems. These activities include agriculture, fishing, sand m...
Comparing the physicochemical properties, heavy metals concentration and metal pollution index (MPI) of collected ten (10) wastewater samples in Kushtia and Jhenaidah municipalities, Bangladesh is the prime object of this manuscript. The levels of dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemic...
The assessment of the aquifer vulnerability and groundwater potential of Umudim, Okpunoeze, Umudimkwa and Okpunoegbu all in Nnewi town of Anambra state southeastern Nigeria was carried out. An electrical resistivity survey using vertical electrical sounding (VES) employing a Schl...
CO2 sequestration and storage are parts of the approaches to mitigate the effect of global warming through the reduction and stabilization of CO2 emitted in the atmosphere. In the Niger Delta, several depleted and abandoned wells can be utilized as geologic storage for CO2 to ass...
