Developing groundwater for rural water supply in Nigeria : a report of the May 2005 training course and summary of groundwater issues in the eight focus states
The British Geological Survey was commissioned to strengthen the capacity of the rural water
supply and sanitation agencies in eight states in Nigeria to undertake groundwater resource
evaluation and development. These states (Jigawa, Benue, Enugu, Eketi, Zamfara, Kwara,
Borno and Ebonyi)are the focus of a current FGN/UNICEF WES Project, supported by DFID.
The opportunity was also taken to assess the hydrogeological issues facing the eight states and
to suggest ways to help meet this need
