1.1 Scope of this Report

It is beyond the scope of this report to present details of the existing structural and safety status
of each dam, together with details of the engineering and technical solutions for addressing any
issues of safety. This requirement is part of the recommendations of this report. However, the
scope of this report is to develop a set of actions that are to be implemented as part of the
Nigeria Urban Sector Water Reform Project (NUSWRP) to ensure that the existing dams
supplying raw water to the participating State Water Boards operate safety.

Therefore, the methodology used to determine what these actions should be was based on
reviewing existing Dam Safety literature and other available technical reports from the
participating state water agencies and river basin authorities, interviews of their key technical
staff, followed by site inspections of a representative sample of the Dams in the list contained in
Section 1.8 of this report, viz-a-viz, the Dam Safety Operational Policy 4.37 of the World Bank
and the specific objectives and limitations of the proposed NUWSRP.

The environmental issues associated with these dams and this project is also beyond the scope
of this report and is addressed separately in the Environment and Social Management
Framework (ESMF) for this project.

1.2 Brief Background of the Water Sector In Nigeria

The problems facing the water supply sector in Nigeria are many, characterized by acute
shortage of supply, even though Nigeria is blessed with abundant water resources estimated at
226 billion m3 of surface water and about 40 billion m3 of ground water. One projection of
Nigeria's population estimates that it will reach the level of 338 million by the year 2050. If this
estimate and other country estimates are correct, Nigeria would move from 10th most populous
country in the world to the 4' most populous country in a short span of just under 50 years.

For example, out of the 85 million people living in urban and peri-urban areas, less than half
have reasonable water supply. Many households, often the poorest, end up purchasing water
from private vendors at a much higher charge than from the public supply. Moreover, water
supply services where they exist are unreliable and of low quality and are not sustainable
because of difficulties in management, operation and pricing, and failure to recover costs. Also,
many water supply systems show extensive deterioration and poor utilization of existing
capacities, due to under-maintenance and lack of funds for operations. Additionally, the high
cost of imported equipment especially in terms of a depreciating currency, and inadequate cost
recovery policies have contributed to large financial deficits in many State Water Agencies
(SWA's). This has left most SWA's dependent upon state subventions to finance operations and
maintenance of their water systems, to service debt and to finance new investments.

The Federal Govemment of Nigeria and the states are totally committed to address this
problem. Water has a top priority in the govemment's development agenda, mainly due to the
cross-cutting impact of safe water on health, productivity, and quality of life, with serious
implications for poor and vulnerable communities.

Therefore, the govemment of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is working to address these
problems by recognizing the need to manage the water sector in an integrated and sustainable

circumstances fund the construction of new dams, large or small. However, the operations
of the State Water Agencies (SWA's) depend either on the use of existing dams run, operated
and owned by themselves, as in some states or as in other states by the River Basin
Development Authority (RBDA) of that state, for one or a combination of the following functions:

i) as a reservoir
ii) to manage water flow and levels in rivers
iii) provision of raw water to SWA's
iv) Generation of Hydro-Electric power.

1.7 Applicability of the Banks Operational Policy OP 4.37, Safety of Dams

The Bank may finance types of projects that do not include a new dam but will rely on the
performance of an existing dam such as water supply systems that draw directly from a
reservoir controlled by an existing dam, diversion dams or hydraulic structures downstream from
an existing dam, where failure of the upstream dam could cause extensive damage to or failure
of a new Bank-funded structure; and or irrigation or water supply projects that will depend on the
storage and operation of an existing dam. Projects in this category also include operations that
require increases in the capacity of an existing dam, or changes in the characteristics of the
impounded materials, where failure of the existing dam could cause extensive damage to or
failure of the Bank-funded facilities.

Therefore, for participating SWA's that involve the use of existing dams as described above, the
Bank requires that the FMWR arrange for one or more independent dam specialists to:

(a) inspect and evaluate the safety status of the existing dams or their
appurtenances, and its performance history;
(b) review and evaluate the owner's operation and maintenance procedures;
and
(c) provide a written report of findings and recommendations for any remedial
work or safety-related measures necessary to upgrade the existing dams
to an acceptable standard of safety.
The Bank may accept previous assessments of dam safety or recommendations or
improvements needed in the existing dam if the FMWR provides evidence that;

(a) an effective dam safety program is already in operation, and


(b) full-level inspections and dam safety assessments of the existing dam,
which are satisfactory to the Bank, have already been conducted and
documented.

As the state water agencies of the participating states rely on the provision of raw water from
the management of several dams that either supply water directly to their water treatment plant
and/or through controlled releases of water from the dams into the rivers upstream of raw water
intake at the treatment plant, the Banks OP4.37, Safety of Dams, applies to this project.

OP 4.37 Dam Safety requires the Federal Govemment of Nigeria (FRN) to prepare a Dam
Safety Measures Report (i.e. this report) to address safe and sustainable management and
operations of the Dams that will be supplying raw water to the participating state water boards.
OP 4.37 also requires the FRN to include in the Dam Safety Measures report; other Dams
5
supplying raw water to the states that are not being financed in this project by the Bank directly,
but are included in the project anyway, even though they are financed from other (non-bank)
sources.

This report and the Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) will be
disclosed as separate and stand alone documents at the World Bank's infoshop and in Nigeria.
The ESMF was disclosed before the project was appraised by the bank and this report will be
disclosed before this project is presented to the Board of the Bank for approval.

2.0 RECORD OF FINDINGS FROM DAM INSPECTION OF A SAMPLE OF THE DAMS.

These dams are water supply earthfill embankmenta dams. The review of the safety of these
dams looked at the following areas;

* Availability of reliable records of Dam operations, rainfall data, as-built drawings, etc.
* Existence of Dam Operational Manuals, and its implementation.
- River Hydrology.
* Factors contributing to release schedule.
* QualHfications and Experience of staff with key technical responsibilities.
Past performance and history of Dams in terms of over- topping, flooding, major and
minor rehabilitation work, particular concems of staff, etc.
* Adequacy of installed instrumentation in terms of reliability, state of disrepair, and
recordings and monitoring.
* Physical condition of the State of Dilapidation/Disrepair observed through visual
inspection only and any remedial work undertaken to address critical concerns such as
erosion, sedimentation, siltation, seepage, etc.
* Availability of an Emergency Preparedness and Response plan.
* Existing status and adequacy of spillways viz-a-viz design assumptions.
* Availability of allocated financial resources/budget.

For example:

* 2.1 In Kano State

Kano is the State with the highest number of dams, however most of the water comes from Tiga
Dam, which is has got the largest storage capacity (about 2 billion m3).

The positive aspects in terms of dam safety are the following:


a) the areas in which the dams are located is of a very low seismicity being part of the
crystalline rocks of the Basement Complex;
b) dam foundations are in the great majority on sound and massive rock formations;
c) most of the dams have uncontrolled, free crest, spillways.

The aspects that require attention and action are:


d) several cases of dam overtopping have occurredb; extreme hydrological events,
maximum floods, need to be re-assessed using the most recent information and
appropriate modifications made to commensurate the discharge capacities to the
assessment's findings;
e) information on design details, including as-built drawings is very poor;
f) instrumentation and monitoring is inadequate, both in terms of facilities, and in terms
of operation;

^ Inthe absence of design drawings it was not possible to confirm whether the dams were homogenous or contain a
core.
b A small dam d/s of Tiga was overtopped and triggered spillway enlargement
at Tiga. Bimin-Gwari and Zaira dam
were overtopped in Kaduna. Mareshi dam was overtopped twice in Kano.
8
g) deferred maintenance problems are evident at most of the dams, especially the
smaller ones.

Given the above, attention should be given to safety aspects related to: overtopping during
floods, and intemal erosion.

* 2.2 In Kaduna State

2.2.1 The Bogoma (Birnin Gwari) Dam

Bogoma Dam was overtopped in 1992 and in 1994. Following those events the spillway system
was enlarged and completed in 1999. There is very large erosion in progress in the river course,
where the two spillway channels come together. Erosion is progressing fast (5 to 1OnV year)
towards the toe of the dam which is now only 20 m away from the crest of the erosion slope.

It appears that the phenomenon is to be attributed to the hydraulic performance of the waterway
systems. A modification of the layout, based on hydraulic model tests, is critically needed.
Meanwhile, short term measures should be taken to slow erosion down.

There is evidence of extensive sedimentation in the reservoir.

Area downstream of the dam densely populated. Classifying risk according to population d/s is
meaningless, because people are many in any case (certainly more than 1,000, most likely in
excess of 10,000).

2.2.2 Zarla Dam

The Zaria Dam inaugurated in 1975, is located on the Galma River, at a distance of about 1Okm
NNE of Zaria town. The Dam consists of a 550m long earthfill embankment with a maximum
height of about 14m. The service spill way is located on the left abutment and is about 91.5m
long.

The upstream face of the dam is protected with riprap which is in reasonable good condition and
shows no sign of instability. The downstream face is also protected by stone pitching until the
berm which is at about 3m below the crest and below the berm the slope is protected by riprap.
Open concrete drain has been constructed at the toe of the dam and weep holes at regular
intervals allow seepage water to discharge into this drain.

Raw water from the reservoir is pumped from the intake pumping station to the treatment plant.

At the time of inspection the reservoir level was about 0.7 m below spillway level and strong
winds prevailed from the direction of reservoir. The spillway crest and dissipation areas appear
to be in good condition. Hydraulic performance of the works is satisfactory.

Zaria dam was overtopped in 1994 (see Haskoning report of May 1994). That event prompted
the raising of the crest of the dam by 1m and concrete lining of the spillway dissipation area.
Design documents supporting how the decision to raise the Dam height by I m (and not 2m say)
was made are not available.

9
Lack of maintenance is evident. The drainage ditch along the toe of the dam
is filled with
vegetation and debris resulting in blockage of the drain and seepage pipes.

The Haskoning report (May 1994) reports seepage from two areas of the
dam: near the
maximum height section and close to the right abutment. That report attributes
that seepage to
the foundations. The installation of a couple of piezometers, inside investigation
boreholes with
core recovery in the foundation zone, would serve the double purpose
of checking the
geotechnical characteristics of the foundation (supplemented by surface outcrop
observations),
and of controlling the intemal seepage line in the embankment.

A larger dam is planned upstream of Zaria Dam to supplement flow. That dam
is at the design
stage. It is important to make sure that safety standards (mainly design flood) are
at least equal
to those that will be adopted for the existing dams.

Catchment erosion is severe and reservoir sedimentation is a major concern of

The Dam consists of a 1,31 5m long earthfill embankment with a maximum height
of about 20m.
On the right abutment a 121 .5m long uncontrolled ogee crested service spillway
is located.
The upstream face of the Dam is protected with riprap which is in reasonably

3.4 Recommended actions

Step 1: Individual Dam Specialist


During meetings and site visits it has been noticed
understanding of the actions required to improve reliability that dam operators have a good
first step should be that of facilitating preparation of the headworks. Therefore that the
specifications for further actions that will be undertaken of terms of reference and technical
by a consulting firm and contractors. For
this purpose, the services of an individual dam specialist
address all points (1 to 12) listed above, together with (IDS) should be obtained. The IDS will
preparing terms of reference and tender documents the dam operators, and assist them in
for the procurement of consulting and
contractor services necessary to implement the corresponding
national staff in organizing a workshop (see step activities. The IDS will assist
2) in the very early stages of project
implementation. The IDS will also perform on the job training
of dam staff.
Step 2: Launch Workshop
This workshop wOI have the following objectives: a)
share
the technical staff of the four states; b) disclose project issues and possible solutions among
contractors potentially interested in the tuture bid information to national consultants/
contracts; c) identify priorities and basic
criteria for the next steps.

Step 3: Consulting Services


It is understood that several consulting engineering
firms operate in Nigeria. A consulting firm
(probably a national one) will:
a) carry out activities from 1 to 4 and 14 to 16 (see list above);
b) prepare design and tender documents for the execution
c) supervise construction activities related to b). of activities 5 to 13d;

Steo 4: Rehabilitation Works

' Activities 6 (Deferred maintenance) and 11 (Erosion zones
on embankment slopes) will probably be carried out
directly by the SWA.

15
It must be pointed out that no provision has been made for implementing any sedimentation
management measures that would be recommended in 16 (Storage Conservation Action Plan).
Any action thereof should be contemplated in a separate operation or re-considered during mid
term review of the project.

Technical Details

1. General Requirements

Equipment should be certified and conform to intemational standards. Equipment


should be low
power consumption, portability, ease to use, rugged construction, built-in
communication
interfaces for navigation/data logging devices. Logging of bathymetric and navigation
data may
be done with a separate computer and a software program.

- The GPS (General Positioning System) shall be with the high accuracy, dual station
GPS
(base station and field station) capable of providing X,Y,Z coordinates with an error
position not exceeding +/- 0.5 meters. of
- The echosounders shall be capable of providing depth reading in the range of 0 to
550 m, if
necessary two echosounders can be proposed covering the 0-1 Om and 100-550
m range;
- The full integration of the GPS and Echosounding equipment;
- The Supplier shall be able to provide training.

Equipment will be used for reservoir bed surveys to determine the volume and disposition
sediments within the reservoir, which can have a major bearing on the both dam of
safety and
reservoir management. The GPS equipment will be also used for terrestrial survey.

Sediment volumes will be calculated from the bathymetric data, on the basis
of previous
bathymetric or topographic survey data of the site under investigation. Should
topographic surveys be inadequate, the sub-bottom profiling (SBP) technique will previous
be used to
provide the necessary data to calculate sediment volurne without having prior information
reservoir. on the
The SBP system for mapping sediment thickness should be relatively small, simple
to operate
and well built. Depending on the nature of the sediment the system should be able
to achieve 5
to 30 meters of subsurface penetration. A data acquisitlon system for acquiring navigation
SBP data should also be considered. and

TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR ASSESSMENT OF


SEDIMENTATION STRATEGIES FOR
RESERVOIRS

Objective

The objective of the project is to assess the feasibility of implementing


a life-cycle management
approach to manage the reservoir (system of reservoirs) identified
in the Appendix. The life
cycle management approach aims at identifying and implementing
management strategies that
will ensure the sustainable long-term use of the developed
resource(s). The basic concept is
illustrated in the figure below, and is expanded on in Palmieri
et al. (2003).
