Geo-Implications of Seasonal Variation of Ilesha Water Quality, Nigeria.
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Ilesha is a town situated in the South – western part of Nigeria. It lies between latitude 7O 35ʹN and longitude 4O 38ʹE. The Ilesha area lies within the schist belts which mainly occur within the Western half of the country. As industrialization and urbanization becomes the root of population increase, the rate of waste disposal is also a good match or perfect correlation. Thus, the basic water needed which is jeopardize is been looked at in terms of changes in climatic variation and the degree of contaminants. Water samples were collected from bore holes and wells for dry and wet seasons. Physico-chemical parameters, trace elements, and bacteriological analysis were determined to ascertaining the seasonal variation and the level of contaminants.The results showed that there are elevated values of the parameters analyzed, but mostly within the bearable limits of WHO‘s standard,and there exist slightly increase in mostphysico-chemical parameters tested for in dry than in wet season. Also, the bacteriological counts were more pronounced in well water samples than bore holes with a clear variation in seasons. The hydro-geochemical contour maps produced for the study areas do not reflect the bedrock geology but are more kin to population distribution pattern. Thus, there is a seasonal variationand human activity imprint on the hydro-geochemistry, especially, in the areas of high population density, which over-rides the influence of ambient geology.
