Water Quality Assement Of The Iyi Umaroko River, Eziama, Ubakala, Abia State On Its Suitability For Irrigation:- Palmer Desire O
ABSTRACT
Pollution has posed a major
challenge in our environment, affecting the drinking water sources as well as
the farm land for agriculture in Nigeria and beyond. The cause and effect
relationship between a water constituent and the observed problem then results
in an evaluation of quality of degree of acceptability. The study of the
quality assessment of lyi Umaroko River, Eziama, Ubakala for irrigation
purposes was carried out. The physiochemical parameter analysed include
Temperature, Turbidity, total, dissolved solids, Electrical conductivity,
Alkalinity, Acidity, Salinity, pH, Chloride, Total Hardness, Sulphate,
Phosphate, sodium, potassium absorption ratio. Though there were high rate of
industrial and domestic activities around the vicinity, the lyi Umaroko River,
Eziama, Ubakala poses no risk for irrigation farming. Based on the
observations, we recommend that farmers in and around lyi Umaroko River,
Eziama, Ubakala should be free to use the river as source for irrigation
farming since the water pose no danger to both the soil and crops as the
parameters analysed are all within acceptable range for irrigation purposes
