Niger South Integrated Water Resources Management and Water Efficiency Plans
The quantity of water available is a finite resource and might possibly reduce in the future.
Most studies of climate change suggest a change in available water over the coming decades
due to global warming. Water demand would increase significantly in the future as a small
percentage of people living in the country have adequate access to potable water. With
increased development and increased investment in the water sector the percentage coverage
is set to increase. When the percentage coverage increases and people become used to the
availability, the per capita usage would increase as well. At the same time Nigeria wastes a
significant proportion of the limited water available through both inefficient use of water and
water losses.
Water Audit for Lake Chad Basin in Nigeria
Lake Chad Basin has remained a hot spot of water resources management in Nigeria. The list of challenges facing water resource sector in the basin are numerous. Water resources management in the basin has been complicated by inadequate knowledge base, fragmentation of institutions responsible for various water function and the erronous belief by many citizens of the basin that the country and indeed the basin has abundant water resources. Water is life, but like every resource, it is finite and needs to be managed sustainably to benefit the present and future generations.

Catchment Management Plan for Western Littoral (HA-VI)
The CMP is based on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) as well as the M/P2013, which was being recognized internationally as an effective method for the development and management of water resources. IWRM is a process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources in order to maximize economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems and the environment.

Catchment Management Plan for
Niger Central Catchment Area (HA-2)
The CMP is based on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) as well as the M/P2013, which was being recognized internationally as an effective method for the development and management of water resources. IWRM is a process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources in order to maximize economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems and the environment..

DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE WATER FOOTPRINT IN NIGERIA
Water footprint (WF) is a new concept which allows quantification of freshwater appropriation. The main goal of WF is quantifying and mapping of indirect water use in the relevance of involving producers and consumers along chosen supply chain. This helps by sustainable water resource management and planning.
