This dissertation is a case study of the environmental and socio- economic impact of a rural development project. It examines the effects of the Bakolori Dam on the valley of the river Sokoto in Nigeria on downstream floodplain villages. The background to development in the valley and the evolution of the development strategy eventually adopted in the river basin, based on large-scale irrigation schemes and headwater dams for water control, are considered.
