Incidence of flood has been on the increase in Ilorin for sometime; and this exemplifies the problem operating in most urban centres in Nigeria. Increase in runoff production in an urbanized catchment is a function, among other factors of to increase in percentage paved area brought about by deforestation activities and poor environmental attitude of the people. This study examines the relationship between runoff discharge and basin characteristics in Ilorin. Data used were collected directly from the field over a period of one calendar year. Rainfall data were collected in each basin using a standard rainguage of 20cm orifice while basin discharge was collected twice daily (8.00am and 6.30pm) using fabricated staff gauge graduated in centimeter. Basin morphometric attributes were compu...

At the end of (the six-month) period, there was more optimism in the farm community," said Roy Hjelte, senior appraiser with FCC.
"Biofuels have caused some shortages (of feed grains) and therefore prices are looking like they might be better in the future. IJAs we monitor land prices, we do see that they tend to follow commodity prices.
"In B.C. and Alberta, they have very vibrant economies, Alberta driven by the oil and gas and spinoff (industries), and B.C. has a very limited amount of good quality good agricultural land," Hjelte said.
