| Contents |
Hydro-power projects derive their energies from water (river and other reservoirs), and in Nigeria the Federal Ministry of Water Resources is the agency responsible for managing the nation's water resources through the gathering of accurate hydro-meteorological, hydrological and hydro- geological data/information which makes it possible to prioritise parametric design of dams, reservoirs and other hydraulic structures, and the citing of hydro-power projects. This is achieved by maintaining a robust database that will support comprehensive research and development facilities related to - Turbine, generator and auxiliary systems,
- Hydro-geological (including GIS) potential, and
- Ecological, watershed and catchments area-wise investigation related to hydro potential of Nigeria.
