Abstract

Water has been a serious challenge facing the students as well as the staff living within The Polytechnic Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Therefore this study explains the mapping of Water pipeline to resolve water problem from eleyele Dam to The Polytechnic Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, and management using distance measure function from two sources; the utility surveys and GIS application to determine the spatial .location of the total number of reservoir/tanks within institution. The design route covers a total distance of approximately 5.213 kilometers. The existing water supply system of The Polytechnic Ibadan was analyzed with the help of GIS and geospatial water utility database created and the use of Total Station measurement to map out the pipeline route. Further analysis was carried out with the use of GIS application software (ArcMap 10.2) and CAD application software (AutoCAD Land Development 2014) and Surfer 11. From the results, the longitudinal profile and the cross section map showed clearly the vivid picture of the design route (purple color) where the water pipeline can be placed from eleyele dam to The Polytechnic Ibadan campus. Also, the map showing the spatial location of reservoirs/tanks within the institution was produced including the spatial queries for the good and the bad tanks. It can be concluded that the design route will help in proper laying of pipes from the dam to the institution which will help to combat the water supply challenges within the institution and future development along the design route will also be of benefit to the citizens living along the design route where water infrastructure is needed.
