“Estimation ofthe water quality profile of drinking water in Umuariaga, Umuahia, Abia State, determining the pollution potential of the said water:- Odo, Edith E
ABSRACT
The
water quality profile of Umuariaga was estimated in this project work. The
physical parameters, chemical parameters, heavy metal and microbial parameters
were determined. The standard methods of analysis set by WHO were used. Almost
all the values were below WHO standards except values of microbial parameters
which had the concentrations of 0(MPN/100ml) for faecal Coliform Bacteria,
O(MPN/100ml) for Total Coliform Bacteria and 8.0 x 10(cfu/ml) for Total
Heterotrophic Bacteria, which are all in compliance with the WHO standard of
0(MPN/100ml), 0-2(MPN/100ml) and < 100 (cfu/ml) respectively. Though, In
Situ results like pH. Temperature and Conductivity can be altered due to
distance, environment and time. The pH is acidic with the value of 3.70. Based
on the results, the potable groundwater in Umuariaga is not safe for drinking
because most ofthe values are not in compliance with the WHO standards. It is
therefore, necessary to disinfect the potable groundwater before human use to
avoid the risk of contracting water-borne diseases.
