Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
The development of Tinapa Business Resort in Adiabo has significantly influenced the emergence of tourism support services and at the same time has enhanced community livelihood. However, in spite of the tremendous impact of the resort to the community, it activities were not devoid of socio-economic problems especially as it relate to surface water quality. Three catchment communities were used for this study of which two hundred copies of questionnaire were randomly distributed to each community in order to assess the socio-economic impact of the resort on community livelihood. Furthermore, water samples were collected in order to evaluate the physico-chemical properties and the result from the analyses shows that the pH, temperature, turbidity and other parameters were high in concentration in the water samples collected compared to WHO standard. Besides, the data obtained indicate that there were water related disease which perhaps may be as result of the high concentration of pH level in the various properties observed in the surface water samples collected in the area. Therefore, adequate measures must be put in the place to avert the menace associated with water quality in the area.
