It is considered a part of ecology. It covers the biological, chemical, physical, geological, and other attributes of all inland waters, both running as in rivers (lotic ecosystems) and standing as in lakes (lentic ecosystems). Studies on water quality parameters provide baseline information for subsequent assessment of the environmental impact of man-made perturbations. The objective of this study is to determine the physicochemical properties of water from Agulu Lake. There is a need to test sources of water for hints of pollution or contamination that would otherwise threaten the lives of living organisms that depend on them. Monthly sampling for twelve physico-chemical parameters was conducted in each of the six arms of the lake, which constitute the six stations of this study, from January to December 2003. Measurement of parameters was based on methods described in APHA (1989). The conductivity data for Agulu Lake showed strong seasonal variation. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Biochemistry project topics and materials you might be interested in»Phytochemical and nutritive composition of fluted pumpkin»Determination of ascorbic acid in selected fruits mango, orange and pineapple using spectro-photometric method»Comparative evaluation of heavy metal loads in some selected soft drinks in Owerri, Imo state»Antilipidemic effect of water (H2O) extract of desmodium velutinum leaves on albino Wistar rats»Preliminary investigation on effects of burantashi extract on lipoproteins of albino male and female whistar rats»The effect of water extract of cola nitida pod on lipoprotein concentrations of albino Wistar rats»Nutritive value, anti-nutrient and mineral composition of cashew nut (Anacardium Occidentale)»The extraction of manganese (iv) ion from aqueous media using 1-phethyl-3-methyl pyrazolone-5»Evaluation of the immunomodulatory effect of oral administration of the methanol extract of gongronema latifolium (utazi) in wistar albino rats»Comparative study on the free radical scavenging potential of turmeric and beetroot»Phytochemicals and minerals analysis of rosary pea (Abrus Precatorious leaves)»Determination of total petroleum hydrocarbons in Niger river»Qualitative phytochemical and gas chromatography mass spectrometry GCMS of Nhexane extracted leaves of sabicea calycina»Charges in the concentration of nitric oxide in the serum gills brain liver and kidney of clarias gariepinus exposed to glyphosatebased herbicide»Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities and reducing power of various fruits juice in Yenagoa
