It occurs when water in the river overflows its banks‚ or sometimes results from a constructed dam. It happens without warning but with a surprise package that always delivers to unprepared community like the ones in Sokoto‚ Kaduna‚ Kebbi‚ Ogun‚ Lagos‚ just to mention a few. It has not only left several people homeless‚ destroyed properties and

Alternative Energy Sources Fossil fuels will not last forever. If the human race wishes to continue to live the way we do‚ then we have to look at alternative energy sources such as: geothermal‚ nuclear‚ solar‚ wind‚ and hydroelectric energy. Alternative energy sources are not without faults‚ but along with faults‚ there are benefits and solutions to the issues. Geothermal energy is a well-proven energy resource that can be used to provide both heat and electricity. Geothermal energy is very

INTRODUCTION It is hard to live without Energy‚ but it is impossible to find another planet to live in. Energy is everything. It comes in many forms such as heat‚ electricity‚ light‚ mechanical energy. Conventional energy sources such as coal and oil are the main contributors to the global warming. Furthermore‚ these fossil fuels are not renewable‚ which means one day we will run out of them. The good news is alternative sources of energy can replace the current technologies we are using. These

Many researchers are trying to find new renewable energy sources to help diminish carbon emissions‚ which cause global warming. Carbon dioxide (C02) is released from human activities as well as using fossil fuel these are the causes of global warming and the green-house effect (European commission 2003). The release of green house gases has risen because of increasing population and technology development which has resulted in high demand for the use of fossil fuels. This is a serious issue in many

thus benefiting the environment. Hydro-electric power plants today are geniuses of human intelligence. The first step to building a power plant is to build a dam. This is important because the dam creates a huge reservoir from which power can be harvested. Dams greatly boost the steadiness of these power plants. The water behind the dam flows into conduits called penstocks. These penstocks control the flow of water so the correct amount of electricity is generated. The penstocks lead the water
