ABSTRACT

Determination of the certain major and trace elements was carried out in Umuariagha river in Abia State. This work aims to identify trends resulting in the deterioration ofUmuariagha river which is also a potential source of environmental contaminants. About 5 water samples, each from the Umuariagha river were collected fromthe River but from different locations. The elements determined are: Na,.Pb, As, Cu, Cr, Cd, Ni, Zn, Fe and Mn. The elements of Cd, Ni, Zn, Fe, Na, Pb and Cu were found to be the recommended values for potable water (WHO) except for Arsenic and Chromium which are found to be high. The results were compared with the WHO and FAO standard recommendation values for water quality for irrigation and potable water. This study provides a general indication of where water quality constituents’ concentrations met or exceeded water quality standard ofWHO and FAO datapresented in the reportwill be useful from public health point ofview (table 1 and 2).The result gotten shows that the water is fit for irrigation purposes since all the elements traced were within the recommended values for irrigation purposes by FAO
