Nigeria is endowed with extensive wetlands that are vital for ecological stability, biodiversity, and local livelihoods. This study focuses on the Hadejia-Nguru Wetlands, a critical floodplain ecosystem in Northern Nigeria, to evaluate the impact of water table dynamics on wetland ecology and community livelihoods. Employing an observational study design, data were
collected through structured questionnaires, environmental temperature and humidity measurements, and statistical analysis using SPSS.
