Qualitative Assessment of Some Available Water Resources in Efon-Alaaye, Ekiti State Nigeria

description | As water is a major life sustainer, hence its portability is of great
importance in performing that role well. In this study, various water
samples were collected within Efon-Alaaye for both physicochemical and
bacteriological tests. A total of nine (9) water samples were taken for
analysis with six (6) from various surface sources and three (3) from
groundwater sources in the study area. The mean turbidity value,
temperature, total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration, hardness and
EC are 2.92 NTU, 23°C, 447.8 mg/l, 48.1 mg/l and 138.4 μS/cm
respectively. Manganese has mean value of 0.27 mg/l. The concentration
of both copper and zinc ranges from 0.07 - 0.13 mg/l and 0.16
- 0.55 mg/l with an average value of 0.04 mg/l and 0.28 mg/l
respectively. Water samples collected were also analyzed for total
coliform bacteria and ranged from 1 to 4.6/100 ml with an average value
of 3.29 colony/100 ml. On the basis of findings, the physico-chemical
analysis reveals that some of the water samples were above the WHO
standards for parameters like turbidity and TDS while the
bacteriological test reveals that seven (7) of the water samples
considered met the WHO requirement of portability while the other two
samples contain faecal contaminant as E.coli was discovered, though
at reasonable rate. |
