“…The total dissolved solids (TDS) are comprised of inorganic matter such as mineral, salts, metals as well as dissolved organic compounds present in the water [34]. In general, the high concentrations of TDS (1194 and 1154 mg/L) were observed during the rainy seasons (i.e., summer and autumn respectively).…”

Abstract:The problem of limited water supply in the Vhembe District (Limpopo Province, South Africa) is exacerbated by a preponderance of dissolved salts, which cause disagreeable taste and odour in the water as reported by the communities using this water for drinking. The water treatment plant that supplies the treated water to the communities in the District sources this raw water from the Nandoni Dam at the Luvuvhu river catchment. There are no scientific studies that have been reported in the literature that focused on determining the levels of water salinity from various water sources in the municipalities of the District. Water samples from various sites across the Nandoni Dam, a primary source of domestic water supply in the region, were collected through each season over a period of twelve months in order to ascertain the concentrations of dissolved salts in the dam. Onsite analyses of the water samples were conducted using the YSI ProDSS multimeter, while the laboratory water analyses were conducted using the spectroquant and atomic absorption spectrometers. Although salinity tests seem to indicate that the water sampled across most of the Nandoni Dam is brackish during all seasons of the year with the highest being 750 mg/L, water samples from the dam mid-outlet and the treatment plant are slightly below the World Health Organization (WHO) brackish water bracket of 500 mg/L with unfavourable taste for drinking. Results from this study indicate that the water sourced from the Nandoni Dam is not suitable for human consumption and therefore requires integrated water resource management, as well as robust and cost-effective water desalination treatment.

“…TDS levels in surface water may therefore be partly accounted for as a function of the geology of the water course (DWAF, 1996b). Undesirable elevation in the levels of TDS in river water could arise from salt intrusion, mining, irrigation water, oil refineries, and domestic wastewater discharges (Kent and Landon, 2013;Feng et al, 2014;Sharma et al, 2017). TDS values obtained from selected sites during different seasons are included in the Appendix (Table A4).…”

“…Elevated levels of TDS have been reported to impact water with odour and colour, resulting in poor growth performance of animals and post-egg-fertilisation impairment in aquatic organisms (Brix et al, 2010;Sharma et al, 2017). Total dissolved solids are therefore an index of water quality, with permissible limits ranging from 600 to < 1 000 mg/L (Kut et al, 2019).…”

Water SA 46(1) 80-93 / Jan 2020 https://doi.org/10.17159/wsa/2020.v46.i1.7888 Method development on gC-FIDA SPE-GC-FID method was developed for the simultaneous recovery and determination of the 16 PAHs, while a GC coupled to FID was optimised for the separation of the PAH extracts, and quantitation of each of the separated fractions. Standards and calibration solutionsStock solutions (1 000 µg/mL) of the 16 PAHs were prepared by dissolving 0.01 g of each PAH in dichloromethane (DCM) in 10 mL standard flask. A working mixture (cocktail), containing the 16-PAHs mix at 1 000 µg/mL was also prepared. The stock solutions were subsequently transferred into amber vials and kept refrigerated at 4°C until use. The calibration standards (1 µg/mL, 2 µg/mL, 5 µg/mL, 10 µg/mL and 50 µg/mL) were serially prepared from the stock solution by successive dilution with appropriate volume of dichloromethane and stored at 4°C prior to GC-FID analysis.

“…Ruminant livestock frequently consumes water moderate to high in TDS. Brackish and saline groundwater sources are widespread, including countries like Egypt (Assad and El-Sherif 2002), Australia (McGregor 2004), India (Sharma et al 2017), Tunisia (Yousfi et al 2016), Brazil , Asia, the eastern Mediterranean, Africa (Masters et al 2005), and most of the central USA (Androwski et al 2011;USGS 2013). There are a number of factors suggesting an increased reliance of ruminant livestock on drinking water relatively high in TDS in the future, along with higher TDS in saline water already being consumed.…”

Recent research of feeding practices and the nutrition of lactating dairy goats

Dairy goats can mobilize considerable body fat for support of milk production, but this can necessitate a high nutritional plane later for replenishment. Tissue mobilization during gestation should be controlled so as not to impair lactational performance. Dairy goats can markedly vary feeding behaviour in response to factors such as restricted periods of access; however, further studies are needed to address the efficiency of production. With some tolerance of goats to plant secondary metabolites and voluntary consumption of a wide array of materials, regionally available byproducts and other nonconventional feedstuffs can be used to minimize production costs. Dairy goats are resilient to moderately harsh environmental conditions, but more extreme ones should be addressed with anticipated future climate change. Some differences in the effects of dietary inclusion of fats and oils between dairy goats and cattle may relate to ruminal microbial conditions as well as the susceptibility of mammary gland enzymes to bioactive conjugated linoleic acid isomers. Much research is being conducted to improve the fatty acid composition of fat in goat milk in regard to effects on human health through the use of fats and oils as well as plant secondary metabolites, and effects on antioxidant status are increasingly being considered as well.
