Nigeria - Transforming Irrigation Management in Nigeria (TRIMING) Project : Environmental Assessment (Vol. 3) : Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for the Dadin Kowa Irrigation Scheme, Gombe State

14 Apr 2020

The development objective of the Transforming Irrigation Management in Nigeria (TRIMING) Project for Nigeria is to improve access to irrigation and drainage services and to strengthen institutional arrangement for integrated water resources management and agriculture service delivery in selected large scale public schemes in Northern Nigeria. Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures are includes : (i) due to movement of vehicles and heavy equipment,precisely on dusty access roads as in the case of KRIS and HVIS, there will be increase of fugitive dust, especially if the pre-construction phase is in the dry season (November - March); (ii) soil compaction and soil structure changes may occur due to influx and stationary positioning of heavy-duty equipment and vehicles which may upset the underlying soil in pressured areas thereby increasing the potential for soil erosion; (iii)vegetation clearing and necessary earth works as a result of construction of new building will promote the alteration of some habitats, mischaracterizing them of their ecological functions, and in some cases evenleading to their elimination; (vi) reduced water supply for farming activities for farmers and domestic water users during civil works; (vii) degradation of local air quality as a result ofemission of cement and other particulate matter during construction; (viii) rehabilitation activities may reduce access to owned farm lands and other income generating activities thus disrupting economic activities; (ix) temporal blockage of access routes to farmlands and grazing/watering areas by repair materials, wastes and heavy trucks evacuating wastes and potential exposure of community members to construction hazard; (ix) sprinkling of water via spraying devices to limit dust; (x) awareness creation on expected behaviour for the workers, youth and general population of the community; (xi) enhanced fastening ofequipment to carriage section of vehicles; (xi) monitor quality and salinity level ofdrainage water and its impacts into the farms or other receptors.
