mikolo80:Why should it remain the same? There are all kinds of damming . If the damming diverts the water is could permanently change the course of the river . Damming for drinking and damming for agricultural use would reduce outflows The Niger couldd be diverted into Lake Chad This is quite technical so if you want to "get it" you have to do some work read and research but your assumption is wrong The other thing is the actual SOURCE of the Niger in the Guinean Highlands. It is not guaranteed to be there forever or in the same amount . Man Rivers have shrunk and or dried in the past and will in the future |

mikolo80:There should be water ports at the coast the solution to Lagos congestion is not dredging rivers when we have hundreds of miles of coast in Ogun,Ondo,Delta,Rivers Akwa Ibom and Cross River states . Rather we can build more ports. I do not agree with your premise that Lagos is congested. Ethiopia and Switzerland are totally landlocked and are performing better than Nigeria. This is the same resentment and rivalry to Lagos argument packaged in another way. If Lagos Capacity is inadequate it can be expanded. More ports can be built wherever viable with viability being the key consideration. A new port will soon be completed in Lekki. Let the SS governments create an enabling environment for investors to build a port in the SS 1 Like |

0monnak0da:i'm nt a marine engineer but i thought ports need to be natural you can't just berth (from my understanding at bar beach when yua not jack sparrow why does it take long to clear containers why is apapa on total lockdown with trucks parrked on bridges? they are surrounded by serious countries whose ports work
expanded to where apapa looks tight to me(layman)

0monnak0da:i don't think damming and diversion are the same thing

mikolo80: Damming simply means an interruption in the flow usually by a wall . The most usual form of damming is to get water to drink and for agricultural and other uses . That is diversion in my book though diversion could be permanent when the course of a river is changed permanently that does not have to happen before it is called diversion It is clear you are just yapping and not well informed What rain are you talking about and what do you mean by downhill? I don't know what you mean. I hope it is not another one of those North is "up" and South is "down" convos. |
