Abstract

Kainji Dam is located in the north western part of Nigeria. The river flood plain downstream the dam has rich alluvial soils with great agricultural potentials and this has been the major pull factor for several local communities that settled in the area and engaged in farming as a means of livelihood. However, these downstream communities in Yauri Emirate are exposed to flooding and other forms of vulnerability related to their livelihood activities and living pattern. An assessment of changing vulnerability from kainji dam is therefore conducted in Yauri Emirate. The objectives of the study are to examine the different forms of vulnerability of the people to flood in the study area, characterize the factors that influence vulnerability in the study area and examine the changing nature of vulnerability in the area. The study employed direct field survey using oral interview, questionnaire and field measurements for data collection. Findings of the study revealed that flood hazard is the most common hazard applicable to the study area. 80% of the respondents believed building made from clay are most affected by flood disaster, this is because such buildings were built with poor construction material and requires varying major repairs after flood disasters. The study further shows that 55% of the respondents revealed they have been involved in the planning/activities aimed at reducing flood disaster measures but they found the strategy to be non-effective due to non-sustainability of the flood disaster risk management program within the community, clearing of blocked drainages was their only contribution to flood reduction. The impact of the previous flood experienced 60-65% of destruction to physical infrastructure, to be more common between 2008 to 2017, 65% of the respondents houses were severely destroyed during the year 2008 to 2017. From the data analysis, the respondents agreed on the fact that 2018 was the most affected year where people were rendered jobless, this distortion affected the community’s occupation of farming & fishing therefore, having a negative effect on their income streams. This study revealed that Yauri Emirate has been exposed to a wide variety of hazards which need urgent attention. The establishment of the dam has impacted both negatively and positively on the inhabitants of the area. Negative effects seem to outweigh the advantages of the dam. This is because what is required to take full advantage of the dam to assist the local people is lacking.
