In harnessing
water resources, the ministry has pursued a holistic approach with focus on
Rural, Semi-urban, Regional and Urban water supply. Gov Arch Namadi Sambo is
fully committed to providing portable drinking water to all communities in
Kaduna state |
Water Supply:
While high evaporation during i.e. the long dry season poses serious
limitations on available water resources, the two large river systems, the
Kaduna and Gurara, that run through the state provide opportunities for good
sources of i.e. water supply. But many of the tributary streams dries up
during the long dry season.
Even so, the
wide at alleviated valley bottomlands in many medium drainage basins (e.g.
Galma, Tubo, Karami, Sarkin riy Pawa and Damari) favour extraction of
groundwater of from shallow aquifers and boreholes from deep all ones. Thus,
although the climatic conditions north of latitude 10°N pose problems of
water shortages and the river valleys appear to be dry, moist valley bottom
lands have sustained certain traditional horticultural/agricultural
activities and provided domes tic water for people in many rural areas of
the state.
Presently, there are five completed large and medium dams and water intakes
at Zaria on Galma and Kubanni rivers; at Kangimi on Karami river; at Bimin
Gwari on Kusheriki river; at Kaduna on Kaduna river. Also, one or two
boreholes in every LGA have been completed and are now in operation to
complement water supply for rural domestic uses (provided by the Federal
