Determination of water quality of selected public wells in Ekiti state, south-western Nigeria
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Environmental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Representative water samples taken from some Public Hand-Dug Wells in Ekiti State were analysed for physico-chemical and microbiolgical characteristics using standard analytical methods. Results showed significant spatial variation. The characteristics of the water from the Underground source revealed an acceptable quality for most measured parameters with low chemical pollutants burden when compared with drinking water standards.
