This achievement is a product of perpetual challenge to meet human needs, most importantly to an end suffering, social injustice, welfare and promote happiness. In line with this thinking, SHED was installed in Shiroro community in 1990 with the goal of improving wellbeing or happiness of rural dweller living on the fringes of the Dam’s reservoir and Nigerians in general. This study employs Probit Model to ascertain the happiness of the host community; the findings however, reveal that the community is not happy. It is recommended that a Dam Ecological Trust Fund be introduced to cater for all dam related environmental challenges and conclude that the study is outstanding for introducing happiness study viz a viz physical environment.
