Seasonal Variation and Pollution Assessment of Some Physicochemical Parameters of the Surface Water of Mahin Lagoon and Its Adjoining creeks, South-Western Nigeria

Indiscriminate discharge of untreated wastes from into the aquatic ecosystem may result in deterioration of water quality, as well as poses a great threat to the balance of aquatic ecosystems and human health. This study investigated the seasonal variation in physicochemical characteristics and assessed the pollution status of Mahin Lagoon and its adjoining creeks using standard method. Results of physico-chemical parameters varied significantly (p
