This paper focused on the various dams in Nigeria, their effectiveness with respect to configuration and purpose, sizes, lifespan and sustainability. The study observed the causes of dam failures and also compared their lifespans to their configuration, location and objectives. The results obtained from this study shows that Nigeria has large, medium and small dams which are also single and multipurpose. The dam structures will live out their lifespan as estimated from the designs, work effectively and sustainably except for action of some factors such as change in the hydrology of the dam location, changes in the design criteria and natural disasters. The need to know the degree to which dam structures achieve its expected result or purpose, the lifespan of each dam before rehabilitation and the sustainability of the dams in Nigeria, bringing the attention of the government and private owners to the need of dam construction and maintenance is the basis of this paper.

This paper will consider some issues closely related between mathematics and subsurface water environment [1]. They come out as an outcome of treating with random mathematical formulations in representing this phenomenon. It resulted that the mathematical and that physical formulations joint together to a single point, and hence showing a lot of problems in using mathematical and material formulations in modeling of environmental issues. In both cases, problem have come out of an epistemological level and because of careless treatment of some nonlinear and complex real-world problems. Although in some cases when the problem was physically quite simple, the mathematical picture presenting that physical problem was not always on that right way. In short account, one can observe that issues always occur directly or indirectly (a) physical problems and nonlinear (b) relation between environment and mathematics. Looking upon the first question under discussion, our observation shows that “the nonlinearity can uncover a lot, but it does not allow much to be discovered” (D.M). The later question under discussion was discussed by Winger (1960) and elaborated the effectiveness of mathematics in different fields [2].
