The assessment of surface water quality in Otamiri river in Nekede, Owerri west, Imo state Department: Science Technology By: jessy03 Project ID: 1896 Rating: (3.3) votes: 6Rate this project12345 Price:₦1000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractThe determination of physiochemical properties of surface water obtained from Otamiri River was carried out using AOAC (2011). The result obtained from the three sampling points upstream (ups), middle stream (mds) and downstream (dws) had the following: pH ups (5.550,mds(5.73), dws (5.76) conductivity (us/cm) ups (0.04), mds (0.03), dws (0.04), turbidity (NUT) ups (10.4), mds (12.3), dws (10.3), Dissolved oxygen (mg/1)ups (7.67), mds (7.43) dws (7.10), BOD (mg/1) ups (1.07), mds (0.87), dws (1.1), COD (mg/l) ups (64), mds (50.8), dws (60.6), Sulphate (mg/l) ups (2.9), mds (1.08), dws (2.6). Nitrate (mg/l)ups (50), mds (30), dws (60), Phosphate (mg/l) ups (0.54), mds (0.55), dws (0.61), Copper (mg/l) ups (0.00) mds (0.09), dws (0.00), Zinc (mg/l) ups (0.00), mds (0.07), dws (0.03), Iron (mg/l) ups (0.08), mds (0.21), dws (0.02). The values show high discrepancies when compared with the WHO standard for drinking water and these high values are attributed to the high industrial and domestic waster discharge directly to the water body....Preview Download Preview +Other Science Technology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Bacteriological qualities of food thickener deuterium microcarpum (ofor) and brachystegia eurcycoma (achi) sold in Owerri main market»Obstacle detection robot with ultrasonic sensor»Design and construction of cell phone charger»Physiochemical assessment of soil samples from Nwambe Reserve Forest, Ndubia Igagu Izzi L.G.A, Ebonyi State.»Antitrypanosomal activity of ethanol extract of Tridax Procumbent leaf and whole flower on T.
