The Lower Niger River Basin Development Authority, LNRBDA, has appealed to relevant authorities to expedite actions on public water supply system to reduce the rate of borehole sinking.
A water borehole is the use of a natural resource, by drilling to reach the large amount of water stored in water-bearing rocks in the ground below.
Dr Adeniyi Aremu, the Managing Director of the Lower Niger River Basin Development Authority, on Wednesday made the observation during an interview with newsmen at Ilorin.
Aremu, also an Associate Professor in the Department of Water Resources Engineering of University of Ilorin, explained that frequent borehole sinking, at long-run have negative effects on earth structure to the detriment of the people.
He advised government to make more funding and resources available for water generation as water is life and no efforts geared towards promoting its sufficiency could be regarded as too much.
