Quality Evaluation Of Water From National Root Crop Research Dam For Irrigation:- Onyedim, John I.
ABSTRACT
A Water quality has become a major concern due
to ever increasing human developmental activities that over exploit and pollute
the water resources. In the present study, water samples were collected from
four different locations and a physico chemical study of the water from
National Root Crop Research dam in Umudike, Ikwuano Local Government of Abia
State has been carried out to examine the suitability of water for irrigation
purpose. In this study, all the parameters such as TDS, pH, alkalinity, total
hardness, chloride, Sulphate, nitrate, fluoride, Iron, Calcium and magnesium
were found to be within WHO and FAO permissible limits. The pH values obtained
from the dam water lies slightly below WHO and FAO permissible limits.
Electrical conductivity value and Chloride value of the dam water samples lies
in the range of medium salinity zone. Therefore water of these dams can be used
for irrigation purpose.
