  Abstract
  An attempt has been made to develop water quality index (WQI), using Five water quality parameters pH, Nitrates, Chloride, electrical conductivity and fluoride measured at 137 different locations in the study area rating scale is developed based on FAO standards. It was found that 133 samples have the water quality index less than 150 and 4 samples have water quality index between 150-300. By spatial variation of WQI it can be found that 97.08 percent of the water in the area is excellently suitable for irrigation.

  Abstract
  Conversion of stover/wheat straw fermentation residue(FR) to valuable resin is a big challenge for current fermentation process. Carbohydrates presents in residue strongly effects on the performance as well as physical properties of the lignin base resin. In this experimental work, we overcome this problem through simple and novel technique for the production of Fermentation residue base resin by the addition of cheapest catalyst sodium hydroxide and Sodium carbonate instead of using poison catalyst lead oxide. FR syntheses from two different residue of fermentation, investigated effects of lignin and carbohydrates on the physical and chemical properties of resin. Synthesized green resin from FR were utilized for the manufacturing of plywood with satisfactory bonding strength (1.09 MPa). Harmful organic compound (Formaldehyde) emission reduced to 97%. Synthesis Resin characterized by NMR, DSC, XRD for physical properties, chemical structure and curing behavior of the resin. This work developed a sustainable technology without any waste production.

  Abstract
  The study was undertaken to estimate carbon stocks in Munesa forest. The aim of the study was to estimate the carbon stock potential of Munesa forest for selected sites and indicating its contribution to climate change mitigation. A total of 63 nested sample plots of 20m x 20m were laid systematically representing 35 plots for natural and 28 plots for plantation forests respectively. Within larger square plots, five (1m x 1m each) sub-plots in the four corners and one at the center were established for Litter, Herbs and Grasses and soil collection. Soils samples were collected from 0-10, 10-20 and 20-30 cm depths. Above ground biomass was estimated by using allometric model equation using non-destructive method. But, belowground biomass was determined based on the ratio of below ground biomass to above ground biomass factors. The results of this study showed that the average carbon stock of the natural forest was 195.34, 50.79, 1.56 and 325.97 t.ha-1 for above ground biomass, below ground biomass, litter, herbs and grasses and soil organic carbon respectively. Similarly, the mean carbon stock recorded in aboveground biomass, belowground biomass, litter, herbs and grasses and soil organic carbon for plantation forest was 111.07, 28.88, 1.38 and 273.11 t.ha-1 respectively. The total carbon stock recorded was 573.66 and 414.44 t.ha-1 for natural and plantation forests respectively. Finally, this study has shown that Munesa forest ecosystem should be given conservation priority to benefit from carbon financing opportunities.

  Abstract
  The Bida basin is a NW-SE trending basin located in the central part of Nigeria of which the Enagi formation is a lithostratigraphic unit. The section studied showed a succession of conglomeratic sandstone facies, trough cross bedded sandstone facies with a fining upward sequence and mudstone facies towards the top of the studied section indicating multiple regime of energy in the tidal current responsible for the deposition. The conglomeratic sandstone facies and sandstone facies comprises of tidal channel deposits, tidal channel lag deposits and deep braided channel deposits indicating high energy tidal currents were responsible for their deposition while the mudstone facies was deposited by low energy tidal current and considered as overbank deposits with evidences indicating that they are of braided fluvial system. Absence of fossils indicates that the sediments are of continental origin. Statistical interpretation from data generated using the sieve analysis technique indicated that sediments of the samples acquired are bimodal in nature, medium to coarse grained and are moderately to poorly sorted due to limited time for sediments to settle under gravity as a result of the high energy level of the moving current responsible for deposition and bivariate plots generated suggests that the sediments are of fluvial origin.
