The river's source is near Funtua in the south of Katsina State , some 275 kilometres (171 mi) in a straight line from Sokoto . It flows north-west passing Gusau in Zamfara State , where the Gusau Dam forms a reservoir that supplies the city with water. Further downstream

Economically, Kebbi state is largely based around fishing and agriculture , mainly of sorghum , groundnuts , millet , onion , and rice crops. Other key industries are trading, especially in the city of Birnin Kebbi , and the livestock herding of camels , cattle, goats , and sheep . Kebbi state has

Because this layer is only a few molecules thick, at a macroscopic scale a clear phase transition interface cannot be seen. Liquids that do not evaporate visibly at a given temperature in a given gas (e.g., cooking oil at room temperature ) have molecules that do not tend to transfer energy to each other in

It is just that the process is much slower and thus significantly less visible. If evaporation takes place in an enclosed area, the escaping molecules accumulate as a vapor above the liquid. Many of the molecules return to the liquid, with returning molecules becoming more frequent as

Since the kinetic energy of a molecule is proportional to its temperature, evaporation proceeds more quickly at higher temperatures. As the faster-moving molecules escape, the remaining molecules have lower average kinetic energy, and the temperature of the liquid decreases. This phenomenon is also called evaporative cooling .

Evaporation also tends to proceed more quickly with higher flow rates between the gaseous and liquid phase and in liquids with higher vapor pressure .
