  1. Shiroro DamCevap
  2. B
    Kainji Dam
  3. C
    Jebba Dam
  4. D
    Bakolori Dam

Cevap

Shiroro Dam
Shiroro Dam is built across the Kaduna River (a major left-bank tributary of the River Niger) in Niger State. It generates hydroelectricity for Nigeria's national grid by utilizing the steep gradient and high flow volume of the Kaduna River gorge.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the drainage basins associated with Nigeria's major hydroelectric power schemes
The main river basins utilizing large dams for power in Nigeria are the Niger River basin and its major tributaries (such as the Kaduna River).
Accurate spatial matching between river courses and energy infrastructure is required.
2
Match each candidate dam to its specific river system
Kainji and Jebba dams are directly on the main Niger River; Bakolori Dam is on the Sokoto River; Shiroro Dam is built on the Kaduna River in Niger State.
Distinguishing between the trunk river (Niger) and its tributary (Kaduna) isolates the correct hydroelectric station.
