Flood: Agency Asks People To Relocate by Opeomoope: 6:02pm On Jul 28, 2016 |
The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency
(NIHSA), has issued a warning to people
living in flood-prone areas.
The Agency advised people living in areas
likely to be flooded to relocate early in order
to avoid natural disasters.
The Director-General of NIHSA, Mr Moses
Beckley, gave the advice in an interview with
the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on
Thursday, 28 July, in Abuja. He also
emphasized that residing in flood-prone
areas was unsafe.
“The states that are around the hydrological
basins, artificial lakes and large reservoirs
should make sure that they do not look for
the trouble of the rivers by going too close
to them.
“An artificial lake like the Jabi Lake, you can
imagine for example, the purposes and the
benefits of that lake right now.
“First and foremost, it is recharging the
ground water system which will now make
it easier for those in that environment to be
able to reach the ground water level to
attract water.
“The other purpose is that, as it’s there you
can use it for fishery purposes and also for
irrigation and this won’t cost much,
compare to dam construction. |
