Evaluation Of The Effect Of Anthropogenic Activities And Domestic Waste On Water Surface Quality (A Study Of Water Side Aba)
ABSTRACT
The effect of anthropogenic activities and domestic waste on
water surface quality of water side Aba south L.G.A of Abia state. Was
evaluated to ascertain the suitability of the water for domestic purposes.
Water samples were collected at two different times (morning and evening hours)
from three different locations of the river. The water parameter were measured
and compared with WHO and FAO standards. The results obtained showed that the
morning and afternoon PH (6.26 and 7.4), salinity (138.33 and 129.77), Calcium
(3.32 and 3.74), Sulphur (30.76 and 34.23), chloride (36.24 and 38.23) and
phosphorus (3.53 and 6.96) respectively. The pH value from the river lies
slightly below the permissible limit. Electrical productivity value and
chloride values of the river sample lied in the range of the medium salinity
zone; therefore water of this river can be used for drinking purposes,
irrigation and other domestic use in the area. Though the water should be
subjected to some treatment processes, especially raising the pH value and
burning o a temperature of 100°c before being used
