“…Therefore, the results obtained show an influence of tidal flow carrying water with higher EC and TDS from St5 to St1 ( Cochran, 2014 ). This is a similar trend as that observed in Anya – Ogologo River in the city of Port Harcourt which is also an estuary of Sambreiro River ( Ihunwo et al., 2018 ; Isaiah et al., 2019 ). TDS in the studied creek was much higher than those measured from Nun River at Gbarantoru and Tombia Axis in Bayelsa State, Nigeria which ranged from 29.83-35.83 mg/l ( Izah et al., 2018 ).…”

This study was designed to assess total petroleum hydrocarbon (THP) concentrations in the surface water and sediment sampled from Woji Creek and to assess potential ecological and human health risk due to petroleum hydrocarbons along the creek. Physicochemical parameters [pH, temperature (T), electrical conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), total dissolved solids (TDS)] were in-situ measured from sediment and surface water; hydrological parameters (width, depth and volume) were used to calculate the flow rate (discharge) at different stations of the creek. Trend of TPH in the surface water samples along the creek were as follows: St4 (3.639 AE 1.121 mg/L) > St3 (2.449 AE 0.623 mg/L) > St1 (1.457 AE 0.244 mg/L) > St2 (1.069 AE 0.228 mg/L) > St5 (1.010 AE 0.120 mg/L) Trend of TPH concentration across the creek was as follows: St1 -8.758 AE 0.697 mg/kg > St3 -7.675 AE 0.541 mg/kg > St5 -5.515 AE 0.401 mg/kg > St4 -5.075 AE 0.363 mg/kg > St2 -3.162 AE 0.307 mg/kg. Diagnostic indices indicate that the hydrocarbon in the creek was from petrogenic source. Estimation of ecological risk indicated risk in the surface water but not in the sediment. However, human health risk assessment indicated no risk due to human ingestion of the sediment or surface water.

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study is to make sure that the Bird valley’s quarry water is suitable for drinking purposes or not and to monitor the seasonal variations in the physico-chemical parameters of this quarry water. Methodology: Water samples from the quarry were collected in clean and sterilized polyethylene bottles. Water samples were collected from different points and mixed together to get an integrated sample. Some of the selected physico-chemical parameters of the quarry water have been analyzed. Results were compared with standard limits of IS: 10500-2012. All the parameters were analyzed in the laboratory by using standard methods and techniques. Main Findings: As per the obtained results this quarry water contains a very large number of Coliforms detected in the months of September and December and in June month Coliform count was 33 CFU/ml. This overall result for coliform is making this quarry water unfit for domestic purposes. Applications of this study: This study helps us to understand the current condition of this quarry water and also enables us to know whether the quarry water is fit for drinking purposes. It also enables us to know whether this quarry water can be used for domestic purposes after the treatment. Novelty/Originality of this study: Bird valley’s quarry water has not been analyzed from this point of view till date. This study will help us to understand the present condition of the water.
