Text :
‘’What is conversation? Asked Mr Udoh. No one knew the answer. Mr
Udoh tried another question
‘’From where do we get coal, tin, diamonds, and oil ? he asked.
‘From under the ground, replied Chidi. All minerals are under the
ground and men dig mines or drill holes to reach them.
‘Correct, replied the teacher. Now from where do we get fish?
Many hands shot up. ‘From rivers, lakes and the sea, they all shouted.
‘And timber?’
‘From forests’.
‘Suppose we continue removing all these things at a fast rate than we
replace them’ asked the teacher. What happens then? Once again
everyone shouted out the answer.
‘There’ll be nothing left….. Everything will get used up …. No more fish
in the sea….. ‘’ No more trees ….. ‘’No more oil…..
Right, said Mr Udoh. Now in the past, we have only used small
quantities of these things, but in the last fifty years we have been using
up our resources at an alarming rate to make our lives more
comfortable. At last people are realising that this can’t go on. We must
replace the resources where possible as quickly as we use them up. This
is called ‘’conservation’’. How, for instance, can we conserve water?
‘’by building dams, sir, ‘’said Ada, ‘’like the one on the River Nile in
Egypt’.
‘’Tell me more, ‘said Mr Udoh.
‘’Egypt is a very dry land, sir continued Ada. All the people depended
entirely on the annual flood for irrigation, but much of the water was
wasted because it all came at once. Therefore, it was important to store
the flood water so that it could be used gradually throughout the year.
As a result, the Aswan Dam was built. The reservoir created by this dam
extends for 200 km. It is used for irrigation and also to provide hydroelectric power. Also, it has improved fishing in that area.
‘’Well done, ‘’ said Mr Udoh. ‘’ Now in Nigeria we have a number of large
dams. The biggest is Kainji Dam but there is also a dam being built on
the Tige River and a small one at Gubi in Bauchi State. We shall need
many more to provide water and hydro-electric power for our people.’’
