The study examined the household's decision-making role in small scale goat production in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State, Nigeria. Data for the study were collected from 74 households through the use of interview schedule. Frequency distributions and percentages were used in the data analysis. The findings showed that production of manure for replenishing the lost soil fertility under continuous land use was the most valuable reason for rearing goats in the area. The husbands played a larger decision-making role than their wives for certain aspects (such as goat raising initiation; health care; herd-size; planning for organizing for breedings; and grass cutting) of goat production. Implications of the findings for extension practice were presented.

Recharge Estimation

<p>Recharge estimation in arid and semi-arid areas is complicated. As for the country where the potable water for both the people and livestock is supplied from shallow unconfined aquifer due to the lack of existing ground water, the recharge estimation is crucial to water source management. However, since the deficiency of available data, such estimation has not been completed in the Gobi desert of Mongolia. Water-bearing rock units of the Undai river basin consist of Upper Quaternary alluvial-proluvial sands, gravels and pebbles. In this paper, direct recharge was estimated using chloride mass balance (CMB) and rainfall infiltration breakthrough (RIB) model in shallow unconfined aquifer, Undai watershed area Southern Mongolia.  As a result of groundwater recharge estimation survey conducted in 2018, the annual mean recharge of the groundwater along the Undai dry riverbed is calculated to be 13.7mm/year according to RIB model based on the water level fluctuation, which makes up 6.3% of total precipitation and 21.7mm/year according to CMB (chloride mass balance), which comprises 10% of the total annual precipitation. The largest recharge estimates were determined using the daily basis RIB method and the smallest estimates were determined using the chloride-mass-balance method.</p>

This study examined the role of local government in community development in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State, Nigeria. A total of 420 people participated in the study. The study sample of 420 persons comprised 220 community development officers selected from the study area and 200 adult educators randomly selected from Enugu State. The entire population of the study was used due to the size. A 21-item structured questionnaire developed by the researchers was used as the instrument for data collection. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. The study revealed that the budget allocation sent by the government to the responsible departments in the local government is not always received as and when due for the effective implementation of community development projects. It was concluded that a higher monitoring authority should be set aside to monitor and supervise the existence of checks and balances between the regulations of the local government areas.
