“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.
