# Discovering my backyard project (Farin Ruwa ) FARIN Ruwa (translated: ‘white water’) is a beautiful and magnificent waterfall at Mahwa Forest Reserve in Wamba Local Government Area of Nasarawa state. The roads to the waterfall, however, are literally impassable and the surrounding villages are locked in communal clashes with Fulani herdsmen over grazing rights. Farin Ruwa waterfalls, which was first discovered in the 1950s by the colonialists, is a spectacular waterfall about 120 kilometres away from Lafia, the capital city of Nasarawa State, 30 kilometres away from Wamba, the local government headquarters and about 160 kilometres from Abuja, Nigeria’s federal capital. The waterfall is geographically situated in Wamba Local Government Area of Nasarawa State – just between the boundary of Bokkos and Wamba local council areas of Plateau and Nasarawa States respectively.
