Otamiri River

[citation needed] The river takes its name from Ota Miri, a deity who owns all the waters that are called by his name, and who is often the dominating god of Mbari houses.

[1] The Otamiri watershed covers about 10,000 square kilometres (3,900 sq mi) with annual rainfall of 2,250 to 2,500 millimetres (89 to 98 in).

Conversion of the tropical rainforest to grassland with slash and burn practices is degrading soil quality.

Random sand samples from the bank of Otamiri River between Chokocho and Umuanyaga, Etche Local Government Area, Rivers State[2] showed that 86 percent of the sand particles, are within the ideal range for glass making.

Also, the World Bank would start a project to provide safe water for Imo citizens by January 2020.
