Abstract

WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF ABAKPA RIVER, OGOJA, SOUTH-SOUTH, NIGERIA.

*Antigha R. E. E. and Ogarekpe N. M.

ABSTRACT

Water quality assessment of Abakpa River in Ogoja Local Government Area of Cross River State, Nigeria was undertaken. The assessment was based on some key selected water quality parameters. The parameters were Temperature, Turbidity, Total Suspended Solids, Total Dissolved Solids, pH, alkalinity, Dissolved Oxygen, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Total Coliform Count, Total Heterotrophic Count, Ammonium, Nitrate, Nitrite, Conductivity, Iron and free chlorine. The work was aimed at assessing the river for potability and its ability to dissipate wastes. The concentration of the assessed parameters was determined experimentally by obtaining 5 different samples at different points from the river for two sampling periods. From the assessed parameters, 47.37% passed in the first sampling and 52.63% passed in the second sampling when compared with WHO (2011) standards. The variability of the results of the water quality parameters for the two seasons is indicative of the irregular pattern and varied trend of activities that take place in and around the river. From the field observations, laboratory results and findings of this study, it is pertinent that the indigenes should be sensitized on the health hazards associated with the direct or indirect pollution of the river.
