THE ANALYSIS OF THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE WATER QUALITY IN THE RAINY SEASON IN NIGERIA
Abstract
Changes in the chemical and physical properties of water are one of the causes of water pollution. These changes are also an indicator of water quality. The purpose of this study is to analyze water quality in the Nigerian River. Three sampling sites were selected spatially along the waterway to reflect the activities that could possibly influence the quality of river water. In the rainy season (December 2016), water samples were collected from the three sites including site (A), (B) and (C). In order to understand the physical and chemical properties of river water quality, 9 water quality standards: temperature, electrical conductivity, pH, total solids, total suspended solids, total solids and alkali, calcium, magnesium, sodium, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand and salinity were analyzed. The results indicated that COD and TDS are higher than the permissible limits in the Global Health Facility, while all the parameters of water quality are within the FAO standard for irrigation purposes. Thus, the water is not adequate for domestic purposes, while it is useful for agricultural purposes.
