“…The high values during the wet season can be linked to run-off that washed away chromium containing paints into the river and also via leaching of chromium from top soil and rocks. Similar results for chromium in water were also reported during the determination of heavy metals health risk index in human consumption of whole fish and water from some selected dams in Katsina state, Nigeria [24].…”

“…consumption and domestic use by the immediate Lake communities in Numan, Adamawa state Nigeria[13].TDS values during both the dry and wet seasons were found to be below the WHO recommended standards for drinking water. TDS values varied from 69.00±3.61 mg/l to 115.67±0.58 mg/l during the dry season and 63.33±1.5 mg/l to 107.33±1.5 mg/l during the wet season.…”

Water samples were taken from five sampling points and their quality assessed through analysis of physical and chemical characteristics. Turbidity, temperature, conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen and total suspended solids were determined on site during sample collection, using potable meters. Anions were determined using UV/Visible spectroscopy while heavy metals were determined using flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) in accordance with AWWA standard methods. Turbidity was the highest recorded parameter during the wet season with a mean of 481.83 NTU. 53% of the parameters showed significant seasonal variation (P<0.5) with the mean concentration of 56 % of the parameters being higher during the wet season. The parameters that exceeded the WHO limit were turbidity, phosphates, lead, iron, nickel, chromium and cobalt indicating poor quality of water in River Sio. Poor agricultural practices, domestic and industrial wastewater are the main factors that contribute to pollution of the River. The study proposes proper land use, proper treatment and disposal of sewage and use of organic manure and biological control as means of preventing water and soil pollution.

“…It is characterized by substantial zone recent alluvial deposits partially underlain by shales and sandstones with eminences of limestones on the fringes around Kodomti and Shaforon settlements. Influenced by the tropical wet and dry (Aw) type of climate, the area is characterized by high mean annual temperature fluctuations (27.3°C to 30.7°C) with total annual precipitations ranging between 642 mm to1407 mm [15,13]. These geologic and climatic characteristics of the area pose tremendous influences on the hydrologic and limnologic states of the lake.…”
