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...

Too late for much of Winnipeg. Far and away the most new development has occurred in sprawling suburbs at the city's edge. Subdivisions of mainly single-family houses that grew slowly in the 1990s are being built out, for example, Royalwood, Canterbury Park, Richmond North and River Park South. Recently, Qualico's Sage Creek, the Manitoba government and Ladco's Waverley West and, beyond the Perimeter Highway, Chipman's Oaks started building thousands of new houses beyond the built-up area to the city limits. It remains to be seen how much of this new housing will be affordable.
Outside the city limits, there is evidence of increased sprawl. The total number of private dwellings in Winnipeg increased by 3.2 per cent between 2001 and 2006 according to Statistics Canada, while the populati...

Part I of this article, which appeared in the last issue of the Canadian Appraiser, addressed the direct comparison approach section of the typical appraisal report. The following discussion involves the site description, services, land use regulation, and highest and best use sections, plus the introduction to the valuation section of an appraisal report. There should always be a clear, well-labelled site plan with dimensions, north arrow and appropriate reference points, such as the street the property fronts onto and other features. If a legible and/or recent survey plan is not available, usually the municipality, tax assessment office or land registry office will have some form of reliable property mapping available. For a vacant development site, the subject of services is critical...

Because the area was built up back in the 1990's, people don't think about it as much any more," says RE/MAX Professionals' Alan Reiss. "That's partly because residents here hold on to their homes longer. I usually list only one or two in the area per year.
"It's open, but not completely open," he says. "You have separation between rooms, but the separation isn't so great that it hampers flow. An example would be the dining room (with custom-painted mural, granite-top buffet and stylish chandelier), which is positioned directly across from the kitchen. It's only steps away if you're entertaining, yet it's a distinct space with lots of room to enjoy company and a good meal."
"I love the kitchen -- it's very functional, and the windows take advantage of the views out back. It isn't comp...
