De Zamfara River be a river insyd de northern part of Nigeria. E dey originate insyd Zamfara State, wey dey run 250 kilometres (160 mi) west into Kebbi State wer e dey join plus de Sokoto River sam 50 kilometres (31 mi) southwest of Birnin Kebbi.

At ein highest point de Zamfara River dey flow thru an area wey be 188 metres (617 ft) above sea level. Zamfara River get different names dem associate plus insyd different region wey e dey flow thru. Sam of de most common ones dey include Gulbi Gindi, Gulbi Zamfara, River Zamfara, den River Gindi.

On de 6th of October 2022, na dem confirm say villagers wey dey live around de river, drown while dem try to escape terrorist attack.

De hydrological patterns den varieties of surface spillover insyd Hadejia stream

De river catchment be evaluated wey dey utilize information traversing 36 years, (1980-2015), for legitimate preparation den de board of water assets insyd de bowl. New hydrological knowledge for de district: De worldly den spatial abnormalities insyd de spillover of Hadeia stream catchment be distinguished. A critical decline of waterway release, from two out of de three downstream stations, be noticed. Be dat as e fi, der be a rising pattern of de waterway release from every one of de three upstream stations, however measurably unimportant. De ANOVA [F (5,210) = 106.226, P < 0.05] den group investigation results show huge spatial varieties between de upstream den downstream stations. De rising pattern of de release insyd de upstream stations dey owe to high precipitation mean den expanded urbanization nearby. Be dat as e fi, de huge diminishing pattern of de release downstream of de stream catchment be related to chaw variables, strikingly; high vanishing rate secof high temperature, low precipitation mean den de somewhat high penetration rate wey be empowered by de high level of sandy soil den de sedimentary land development. Water supply den irrigation, particularly insyd de downstream areas, dey in jeopardy as a result of dese trends den variations. As a result, an integrated basin study wey dey utilize hydrological modeling go be helpful in determining de distinct impacts of de contributing factors den predicting how de river go behave in response to those impacts.

Pollution

Northern Nigeria insyd Zamfara State, secof de outbreak insyd two villages, a team travel den begin de investigation to ascertain de cause of de outbreak. Resident insyd each village report say one-fourth of all de kiddies insyd dema communities die insyd de previous year. De community wells get high levels of lead wich in return cause de kiddies insyd both villages get high level of lead insyd dema blood.
