“Temporal Evaluation of Physicochemical Properties and Variation of Heavy Metal Concentration: A Case Study of Umudere River, Olokoro:- Ibeh, John C
ABSTRACT
The
Umudere River is undergoing a water deterioration quality due to badly planned
water diversion, extensive agriculture and rapid organization. This study was
designed to highlight the heavy metals variation in the water quality of
Umudere river and also to identify its pollution source. Water samples were
collected from different sites along the river during the wet and dry seasons
to determine its parameters and heavy metals contents. The parameters analyzed
include; TSS, TDS, COD, BOD, DO, Turbidity and hardness and among the heavy
metals which include; phosphate, sulphate, potassium (K), zinc (ZN), nitrate
(NI), manganese (Mn) and iron (FE). It was discovered that the Umudere river
has a higher level of heavy metals in'the dry season than that of the rainy
season. Therefore, the result implies that the comprehensive water management
plan and implementation of environmental laws are needed to protect the Umudere
water quality.
