“…The dominance of carbonate in PC3 indicates its contribution in the dissolution and distribution of uoride and nitrate in groundwater. It was also observed that uoride and magnesium exhibited a quasi-independent behaviour in PC1, PC2, PC3 and PC 4, which implies that they are introduced into the water from majorly from natural (geogenic) and on a minor note through anthropogenic sources (Hosseini et al, 2019).…”

This study was conducted to investigate the ionic and uoride concentrations in borehole water and its associated health risk potentials to residents of Makurdi town and its environs, Benue state, Nigeria. An aggregate of sixty-three (63) groundwater samples were retrieved from boreholes in twenty-one ( 21) diverse points within the study area and assessed for its physico-chemical composition with emphasis on uoride content and health risk potentials following standard eld and laboratory procedures. It was observed that uoride content in the sampled water exceeded the stipulated safe limit of 1.5 mg/L in about 33.33% of the total samples and ranged from 0.34-2.06 mg/L with an average of 1.26 ± 0.41 mg/L. Moderate a rmative relationships were observed to exist between F − and TDS; F − and EC; F − and Cl − ; F − and NO 3 − in the water samples indicative of a common source pollution. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed that high uoride content in the water samples was associated with the dissolutions from quartzite and shale into the underlying deep aquifers. Fluoride risk assessment indicated that the hazard quotient (HQ) for ingestion of uoride laden water exceeded the threshold value in 66.7, 71.4, 52.4 and 9.5% of the samples for infants, children, teenagers, and adults respectively. It is concluded that groundwater in Makurdi is contaminated with excessive uoride levels in most locations; hence, the ndings of this study would serve as a basis for policy makers and regulatory bodies towards ameliorating the menace of groundwater contamination within the study area. Highlights Fluoride contamination of groundwater endemic in over 33 % of sample locations Moderate positive correlation exist between uoride and other contaminants PCA reveals uoride contamination of aquifers from dissolution of quartzite and shale Groundwater dominated by Na-SO 4 , Na-Cl and Mg-HCO 3 water types High risk of dental uorosis in infants, children and teenagers

“…The waters born in the Andes mountain range are sources of natural aquifers, which reach the flat and low parts through infiltrations. Due to runoff, these waters are considered free of anthropogenic pollutants, and as they flow in the rivers, they carry the particulate material due to erosion, natural waste, domestic and industrial waste [1,2], modifying their physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristics, which could lead to a decrease in its quality and availability, increasing the health risk [3,4,49].…”

During its journey, the river water suffers natural or anthropic contamination, deteriorating its quality. This impact can be qualified by determining the pollution Indexes (IPO). The work aimed to evaluate the spatial and temporal variation of the IPOs in the water of the high Andean micro-basin of the Chumbao River. The study included the section from 13°46'38.4” S, 73°15'32.3” W at 4079 m of altitude up to 13°35'26.4” S, 73°27'00.8” W at 2572 m of altitude. Physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters of the water were determined in 8 points along the river. These were grouped to calculate the IPO by mineralization (IPOMI), organic matter (IPOMO), suspended solids (IPOSUS), and trophic (IPOTRO) in the dry and rainy seasons. The indexes were categorized from 0.0 (not polluted) to 1.0 (highly polluted). The data were collected in triplicate and valuated through ANOVA and Tukey's test. It was found that IPOSUS, IPOMI, and IPOMO. The points near the head of the micro-basin reported no and low pollution; besides, they increased considerably in urban areas reaching highly polluted levels. In contrast, IPOTRO reported a eutrophic state, and that contamination levels were higher in the dry season. The waters of the Chumbao River above 2900 m of altitude and close to the head of the micro-basin do not show contamination, but in the urban area the index of pollution is high.

This study focuses on the geochemical and bacteriological investigation of surface and ground water in the Bamoun plateau (Western-Cameroon). During the period from September 2013 to August 2014, 71 samples were collected from two springs, one borehole, four wells and the Nchi stream for analysis of major elements. In order to obtain the characteristics of the various species of bacteria, 7 samples were selected. The analytical method adopted for this study is the conventional hydrochemical technic and multivariate statistical analysis, coupled with the hydrogeochemical modelling. The results revealed that, water from the zone under study are acidic to basic, very weakly to weakly mineralized. Four types of water were identified: 1) CaMg-HCO 3 ; 2) CaMg-Cl-SO 4 ; 3) NaCl-SO 4 and 4) NaK-HCO 3. The major elements were all listed in the World Health Organization guidelines for drinking water quality, except for nitrates which was found at a concentration > 50 mg 3 NO − /l in the borehole F401. As for the hydrobiological aspect, the entire sample contained all the bacteriological species except for spring S301 and well P401.
