Physico-Chemical Characterization of Ground Water, Case Study of Okene, North Central Nigeria
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Okene is fast becoming an urban city and the search for groundwater is ever on the increase. Peoples resulted to drilling of boreholes in order to supplement the earth dam that has served as the only source of water for over forty years in the area. In order to investigate the quality of water in the area, 15 water samples were taken randomly but spread around Okene town. These samples were subjected to various laboratory analyses. The result of the test shows that the pH of water sample from the water board was 4.8 which indicated that the water is acidic as against the 6.5 to 8.5 recommended by the Who standard for quality drinking water. The other physical parameters like Total dissolved solid, Electrical Conductivity, the average Alkalinity of the water samples is 19.0 mg/l and the Temperatures are within the WHO standard. Chemical elements like SO4, NO3, Cl, HCO3, Na, Mg, K, Ca, Fe, As, etc Fall within the WHO permissible limits.
