“…Fe 2þ ranged from 0.03 to 0.49 mg=L and its average value of 0.21 mg=L is within the WHO permissible limit for drinking water except BH 1, whose value exceeded the WHO standard. The high concentration of Fe 2þ in BH 1 may be as a result of the ferrigenous Benin sands, which contain the minerals haematite, limonite and goethite, and also the leaching of the shales of Niger delta in the groundwater repositories (Akakuru et al 2015;Ibuot et al 2017;Urom et al 2021). Mn 2þ is the least abundant, having values thats range from 0-0.07 mg=L with a mean of 0.04 mg=L.…”

This study was carried out to assess the suitability of groundwater for drinking and irrigation purposes by interpreting the hydrochemical species of groundwater samples. Six water samples were collected and assess to determine the concentration of some ions, pollution load index (PLI), contamination factor (CF), water quality index (WQI), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), magnesium hazard (MH), Kelly ratio (KR), and percentage sodium (%Na). The result revealed that most of the ions have concentration within the WHO permissible limit for drinking water except the biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and which exceeded WHO standard in some samples. The mean abundant of the cations is , while that of the anions is . The result reveals that and the most abundance cation and anion respectively. CF reveals low concentration (<1) of , , , , and high concentration (>1) of . The values of PLI were very low indicating no pollution. The WQI reveals the samples with excellent (<50) while those above 100 (>100) were rated as poor. The SAR, MH, KR, and %Na reveal the groundwater status for irrigation based on the ratings of the indices.

“…The bowl is perplexing, and it's worth a lot of money because it houses a quite useful oil framework. With 75,000 km 2 , 300,000 km 2 of all out areas, and 500,000 km2 of silt ll, the Niger Delta is one of the largest subareas (Urom et al 2021). The Niger Delta Basin was formed during the break of the South American plate and the entrance of the African plate of the south Atlantic during the blasted fracture junction.…”

“…Inadequate waste disposal sites, which have an impact on all natural resources, are one of the major threats to the quality of groundwater designated for human use (Akakuru, et al, 2021;Agidi, et al,2022).This has a big in uence on the environment and on people's health,when maintained incorrectly, land lls represent a serious threat to groundwater quality. The size of the hazard is determined by the type and quantity of leachate produced, the time it takes to operate a sanitary land ll, and the distance from the aquifer.…”

Water Quality Index (WQI), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Correlation matrix, Metal Pollution Index (MPI), Contamination Factor (CF), Pollution Load Index (PLI), Geoaccumulation Index (Igeo), Health Risk Assessment, and Hydrogeochemical facies were used to analyze statistical indexes and hydrogeochemical facies in groundwater resources within the study area. All across the study area, twenty (20) groundwater samples were collected in a systematic manner. The samples were examined in accordance with the American Public Health Association standard (APHA) method. Findings from the study revealed that WQI, is of poor quality and should only be used for irrigation. Weathering and redox reactions are important in groundwater geochemistry, according to PCA results. TDS and Cl, HCO3 and Zn, Cl; Mg and Ca, Ca and Na were all found to have a positive correlation in the correlation matrix while PH and K, HCO3 and Fe, Cl and SO4 are found to have a negative correlation in the correlation matrix. The findings show that the items have a weak correlation and that there is no relationship between the two variables. Further MPI, CF, and PLI findings revealed that groundwater is pure, the main source of pollution is geological and anthropogenic processes, and there is no pollution in sampled groundwater. Hydrogeochemical trend revealed that groundwater is Na++K+ > HCO3¯+CO3 > Mg + > SO4 > Cl¯ > Ca+. Based on the finding, pre-use treatment of water resources is strongly advised.

“…Despite the fact that climate change has caused significant spatial-temporal precipitation variability and has affected reservoir storage volume, groundwater remains an important and reliable source of water; however, pollutants do occasionally reach the aquifer as a result of natural or human factors. Inadequate waste disposal sites, which have an impact on all natural resources, are one of the major threats to the quality of groundwater designated for human use (Akakuru, et al, 2021;Agidi, et al, 2022).In unregulated and poorly built municipal landfills, leachate migration from landfills to groundwater is seen as a severe environmental issue (Obasi, et al, 2015;Ezeh, et al, 2015;Omo-Irabor, et al, 2019). Impact on the environment.…”
