Man-made lakes, ecological studies and conservation needs in NigeriaMan-made lakes, ecological studies and conservation needs in NigeriaAraoye, P Aartificial lakesdamsconservationfish resourcesNigeriaThe benefit derived from the creation of man-made lakes in Nigeria and other developing countries is usually associated with great risks. Whenever we establish a dam, it appears we dam the inherent consequences to the detriment of man and his environment. Debts were incurred by the countries concerned, man and animals were displaced, arable lands destroyed including degradation of forest and wild life resources. The creation of dams have also ignored the prevention of man and his life stock from the inherent spread of water borne diseases. The purpose for which a dam is created is threatened if man is indiscriminately exposed to the risk of water borne diseases. The poor and uneconomic management of the fish resources is also another major issue of concern. In order to tap the full potentials of reservoir projects and to promote conservation, it is important to have a round table talk involving all stake holders during the planning stage of such projects. Therefore apart from the engineering works, there is also need for collaboration with all experts from related fields especially the biologists, sociologists and economists for bio-socio-economic reasons during the planning and implementation stages of dam projects in Nigeria and other developing countries.La creación de represas y lagos artificiales en Nigeria y en otros países en vías de desarrollo, produce importantes beneficios, pero trae también grandes riesgos, pues es difícil evitar sus consecuencias inherentes, hacia el detrimento del hombre y su ambiente. Los países que desarrollan este tipo de proyectos deben adquirir deudas, desplazar personas y animales y enfrentar la destrucción de tierras que podrían utilizarse para cultivo, así como también la degradación del bosque y la vida silvestre. Se ha ignorado además, el riesgo que representa para el hombre y su ganado, la exposición indiscriminada a enfermedades transmitidas por el agua. El manejo pobre y antieconómico de los recursos pesqueros es otro factor importante a considerar. Con el objetivo de lograr un mejor aprovechamiento del potencial de las represas y promover la conservación, es importante organizar mesas redondas que involucren a todos los que participan durante la fase de planeamiento de los proyectos. Además de los trabajos de ingeniería, se necesita de la colaboración interdisciplinaria de expertos en áreas relacionadas, para los aspectos bio-socio- económicos de las fases de planeamiento e implementación de los proyectos de embalse, tanto en Nigeria como en otros países en vías de desarrollo.Universidad de Costa Rica2002-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionContributionartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/rbt/article/view/16599Revista de Biología Tropical; Vol. 50 No. 3-4 (2002): Volume 50 - Regular number 3-4 – September-Decembre 2002; 857–864Revista de Biología Tropical; Vol. 50 Núm. 3-4 (2002): Volumen 50 - Número regular 3-4 – Setiembre-Diciembre 2002; 857–864Revista Biología Tropical; Vol. 50 N.º 3-4 (2002): Volumen 50 - Número regular 3-4 – Setiembre-Diciembre 2002; 857–8642215-20750034-774410.15517/rbt.v50i3-4reponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRenghttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/rbt/article/view/16599/16105Derechos de autor 2002 Revista de Biología Tropicalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-05-25T21:48:22Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/16599Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T10:17:30.354Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse |

The benefit derived from the creation of man-made lakes in Nigeria and other developing countries is usually associated with great risks. Whenever we establish a dam, it appears we dam the inherent consequences to the detriment of man and his environment. Debts were incurred by the countries concerned, man and animals were displaced, arable lands destroyed including degradation of forest and wild life resources. The creation of dams have also ignored the prevention of man and his life stock from the inherent spread of water borne diseases. The purpose for which a dam is created is threatened if man is indiscriminately exposed to the risk of water borne diseases. The poor and uneconomic management of the fish resources is also another major issue of concern. In order to tap the full potentials of reservoir projects and to promote conservation, it is important to have a round table talk involving all stake holders during the planning stage of such projects. Therefore apart from the engineering works, there is also need for collaboration with all experts from related fields especially the biologists, sociologists and economists for bio-socio-economic reasons during the planning and implementation stages of dam projects in Nigeria and other developing countries. |
