Introduction
Olayinka Okeola’s research contributes to safe, sustainable, and efficient water supply delivery for livelihood and development. The focuses are on sustainable and resilient urban water infrastructure systems, including storm water harvesting, urban water supply, water demand model and management, surface water hydrology with watershed management, and new area of strong interest: Water Energy Food Nexus (WEF) with motivation from water and food security, a disturbing phenomenon in Africa.

Article
Full-text available
The water issue has become a frontier of public debate globally due to public awareness of sustainable development. Nigeria's water resources are under serious threat from inadequate catchment management that includes widespread pollution from indiscriminate waste disposal. Stormwater is now recognized as a valuable resource rather than a nuisance,...
Chapter
Land degradation in the form of erosion is a serious geo-hazard threatening land and water resources sustainability. Its socioeconomic and ecological impacts necessitated its geospatial prediction via susceptibility analysis. Accuracy of susceptibility mapping depends largely on modeling techniques and causative factors (CFs) considered. The study...

This paper attempts comparing the performance of two statistical models for monthly streamflow forecasting in a small catchment with data from 1972 to 1981. The time series data was modelled with statistical package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and R software packages. The forecasting method adopted in both software was the Auto-Regressive Integrated...
Article
Full-text available
The paper is an exploratory review of Federal Government of Nigeria’s gazettes, agencies reports, intergovernmental documents on water resources policy as primary data source and publications by academia; with the aim to contribute insightfully in the ongoing effort of the government and stakeholders in designing a comprehensive water resources pol...
Article
Full-text available
This study employed the Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix (RIAM) to prioritize the water resources management problems in the North Central Nigeria. This was done through the assessment of the status of water resources management in the region, evaluation of existing policy and strategy of water management, identification of the management problems an...
Article
Full-text available
The availability and adequacy of water in a river basin determine the design of water resources projects such as water supply. There is a further need to regularly appraise availability of such resource for municipality at a distant future to help in articulating contingent plan to handle its vulnerability. This paper attempts to empirically determ...
Article
Full-text available
Hydrological modeling tools have been increasingly used worldwide in the management of water resources at watershed level. The application of these tools have been improved in recent time through the advent of remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques which enhance the use of spatially and physically based models to simula...
Article
Full-text available
The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to study the urban water supply scheme for Offa, in Kwara State, Nigeria. The Offa water works is studied with the model so as to assist its future operation and the design of alternative system improvement works. AHP, a technique used in Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) had made important contrib...
Article
Full-text available
The poor performance of public utility services in Nigeria has been a subject of considerable discussion. Nigeria is faced with the challenge of sustenance and maintenance of inadequate infrastructure due to years of under investment and poor maintenance culture. The paper gives an overview of status of nation’s infrastructure, the causes of it det...
Article
Full-text available
The yield and the reservoir capacities of River Asa, Moro, and Oyun were estimated using a combination of mass curve analytical technique, residual mass curve method and the sequent peak procedure. The yield of River Asa, Moro, and Oyun were found to be 4.68 x 105 m3/day, 3.12 x105 m3/day and 7.29 x 104 m3/day respectively, while the storage capaci...
Article
This paper is a study on financial sustainability of water supply service to the city of Offa, in Kwara State, Nigeria. The value consumers place on water supply and the willingness-to-pay (WTP) for improved service and the factors that influence their preferences were determined using an econometric model. The WTP was estimated using a double-boun...
Article
Full-text available
The establishment of hydro-electric dams in Nigeria served as developmental projects for the country, but the communities in the flood plains experience annual flooding when the authorities of Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) open the gates of the dams to let off water at the peak of the rains. The floods have caused havoc, damages and untol...

This paper presents the assessment of the impact of climate change on the water resources of Kainji Hydropower Reservoir. Rainfall, Reservoir inflow and temperature data obtained from Kainji Hydropower station were analysed using, Mann-Kendall, Regression, and reduction pattern methods. The regression and Mann-Kendall analyses were carried out to d...
