River Basin Management & Planning

Effective river basin management requires an integrated spatial understanding of surface water, groundwater, land use, and ecosystem dynamics. At Geospatial Research Limited (GRL), we are the leading provider of River Basin Management Services Nigeria. We leverage basin-scale hydrological models, GIS analytics, and stakeholder-driven frameworks to support sustainable water and environmental planning across watersheds and transboundary basins in Lagos, Abuja, and key regions like the Niger Basin.

Key River Basin Management Services

Our comprehensive services include:

• Delineation and Analysis: We perform delineation and analysis of catchments and sub-basins using advanced geospatial and hydrological tools. This foundational work provides the spatial boundaries necessary for all subsequent modeling and planning efforts.

• Resource Assessment: We conduct detailed assessments of water availability, pollution sources, and ecosystem services. This information is vital for informed resource management and contributes to overall water security.

• Intervention Design: We design strategic intervention plans for flood control, irrigation development, erosion control, and habitat restoration. Furthermore, these designs are optimized using predictive modeling to ensure long-term effectiveness.

• Water Governance Support: We assist regional authorities and government bodies in establishing robust water governance frameworks. This involves creating transparent data sharing platforms and decision-support tools tailored to Nigerian federal and state needs.

• Climate Change Vulnerability: We incorporate climate projections into our basin models to assess vulnerabilities. Consequently, we help clients develop resilience strategies for water supply and infrastructure under future climate scenarios.

Our Integrated Approach and Value

Through our integrated approach, we connect scientific evidence with policy and community action. This ensures that water, land, and biodiversity are managed together for long-term sustainability. Moreover, our river basin management solutions enhance water governance, optimize resource allocation, and strengthen resilience to climate variability.

We understand the complexity of managing shared resources, particularly in transboundary basins involving neighboring countries. Therefore, our methodologies are rooted in international best practices while remaining sensitive to local socioeconomic realities. We empower governments, water authorities, and environmental agencies with data-driven insights, decision-support tools, and spatial intelligence to achieve sustainable river basin development.

At GRL, we are committed to solving Nigeria’s most pressing water challenges, ensuring compliance with local laws and international agreements. Contact us today to explore how our specialized services can transform the management of your river basin.
