The Zobe Dam is in Dutsin-Ma local government area of Katsina State in the north of Nigeria. It is an earth-fill structure with a height of 19 m and a total length of 2,750 m.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Zobe Dam )〕 The dam has a storage capacity of 179 Mca and irrigation potential of 8,000 hectares. Although the dam was completed in 1983, as of 2010 it was still not being used for water supply to Katsina city, for local irrigation or for power generation. ==Dam== Zobe Dam was conceived in the late 1970s during the administration of General Olusegun Obasanjo and was planned to supply 50% of drinking water for Katsina state while also supporting irrigation farming in the Dutsinma area. The dam was a Federal Urban Water Project built by the Shehu Shagari administration and completed in 1983. The water supply project was planned to be completed in 1995, but the US $122,000,000 project was abandoned due to non-funding.〔 A 2004 safety review reported that although the dam appeared stable, it had experienced seepage problems in the past, should be monitored closely, and should be modified to intercept the foundation seepage. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zobe Dam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
