“…Additionally, the control value of 108.00 mg/L also falls within the regulatory benchmark (see Table2). The concentration of total hardness in the study area can be attributed to the presence of calcium hardness, which is commonly found in surface water sources in Nigeria due to the geological and mineralogical characteristics of the surrounding environment[61]. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that the level of total hardness in the Alape River and its watershed may have negative consequences for water supply and usage.…”

Physicochemical, heavy metals and hydrocarbon parameters of fifteen surface water samples and fourteen sediment samples from the Alape River and its watershed in Igbokoda, South-Western Nigeria have been analysed. APHA and ASTM standard methods were employed in the analysis of the samples while obtained results were compared to DPR, NESREA, NSDWQ and WHO set standards. The mean pH values of the River and its watershed were found to be 6.78 and 7.25 respectively, falling within the recommended limit. In terms of DO, the mean values of 5.25 mg/L and 5.42 mg/L obtained were equally within the acceptable range for supporting aquatic organisms. Mean values of TS and salinity were relatively low, indicating favourable conditions. However, the mean total hardness value was considerably high. The River and its watershed exhibited low levels of O&G, TPH, and Cl-. The presence of organic matter was also observed, as demonstrated from the mean values of BOD and COD, suggesting some level of pollution. Furthermore, the sediments from the River contained detectable concentrations of some heavy metals; Fe, Pb, Cu, Mn, and Zn. The concentration of Fe exceeded the recommended limit set by NESREA. Overall, the research outcomes serve as valuable baseline data for future studies and offer insights to establish effective measures to prevent pollution in the event of industrialization in the area.

Groundwater quality evaluation: a case study of Igando waste dumpsite, southwestern Nigeria

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The quality of groundwater samples around Igando area, Lagos State, Nigeria was investigated with the aim of detecting possible influence of dumpsites on nearby aquifers. Thirty-seven (37) groundwater samples were evaluated for their suitability in drinking and agricultural purposes. Physical parameters were determined in situ using portable multi-meter. Flame absorption was used to determine the concentrations of major cations while ion chromatography and titrimetry was used for anions’ concentration. Bacteriological test was conducted using multiple tube technique. Results of in-situ physical parameters revealed pH range of 7.01–7.79, EC range of 20–880 μS/cm while TDS range from 13–590 mg/L. Laboratory analyses showed Ca2+ concentration ranging 1.60–72.80 mg/L and HCO3− ranging 19.52–204.96 mg/L as the dominant ions. None of the ions’ concentrations exceed the WHO drinking limit. Water Quality Index (WQI) classification showed that all samples fall within good to excellent water categories. The majority of the samples are suitable for irrigation using indices such as Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Kelly’s ratio (KR), and Magnesium Hazard (MH). Bacteriological analyses revealed low total bacterial count and E-coli absence making the samples safe for drinking. Piper diagram indicated two main water-facies (Ca–HCO3 and the Mixed Ca–Mg–Cl). Gibbs’s plots showed that the samples are primarily influenced by rock weathering, while precipitation also contributed. Chloro-Alkaline Index confirmed direct ion-exchange process. Cluster analyses revealed four groups: the first revealed influence of groundwater by anthropogenic activities in the study area, the second and third revealed lithological origin of ions in the water while group 4 indicated pH low influence on the dissolved ions in the waters. The groundwater quality can be said to be fair-good, thus suggestive of minimal interactions between the dumpsites and the groundwater in the area at the time of testing.
