Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the untapped land and water resources that abound at Apoje subbasin on River Osun, and to determine the most appropriate statistical method to estimate the water resources. A field study of cultivable farmlands on the sub-basin was conducted. The stream flow discharges of River Osun at Apoje were also analyzed using the Normal, Log Normal and Pearson Type III distributions. Results obtained show that over 800,000 ha of cultivable farmlands remain untouched while a minimum annual volume of water of about 60.24 x 10 9 m 3 also remains unused. Of the three statistical distributions used to analyse the steam flow discharges of this sub-basin, the Log-Pearson Type III distribution gives the best fit with coefficient of correlation R 2 of 0.99. The distribution also gives the Upper and Lower limits of flood of 553.85m 3 /s and 344.45m 3 /s respectively. Keywords : land and water resources, agricultural production, Apoje sub-basin Journal of Applied Science, Engineering and Technology Vol. 5(1&2) 2005: 75-79

利用奥孙河上阿波耶子流域(尼日利亚西南部)的土地和水资源进行农业生产

本研究旨在评估奥孙河阿波济次流域丰富的未开发土地和水资源，并确定最合适的水资源估算统计方法。对该次盆地的可耕地进行了野外研究。利用正态分布、对数正态分布和Pearson III型分布对阿波济奥逊河的径流量进行了分析。结果显示，超过80万公顷的可耕地仍未受到影响，而每年最少约60.24 x 10 9立方米的水量也未得到利用。在三种统计分布中，Log-Pearson III型分布拟合最佳，相关系数r2为0.99。该分布还给出了洪水的上、下限分别为553.85 m3 /s和344.45 m3 /s。关键词:水土资源，农业生产，阿济子流域，应用科学，工程技术Vol. 5(1&2)， 2005: 75-79
