Parametric Index Analysis of Effects of Effluents and Solid Wastes on Ukwaka Streams, Nnewi, Nigeria
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Many industries in Nigeria discharge their wastewater into surface waters without any form of treatment .Equally, solid wastes were indiscriminately dumped into streams. These contribute a lot of toxic wastes to stream.Hence, this study was carried out to investigate the Parametric Index Analysis of Combined Effects of Effluents and Solid Wastes on Streams. Sections of Ukwaka stream along its course were studied over a period of six months to determine the effects of effluent and solid wastes discharges on the water quality of the stream. Water samples were collected from four different sites: A, B, C, .and Dalong the stream. Samples were analyzedweekly for a number of physicochemical parameters using standard procedure and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) used for the heavy metal analysis. Pollution levels of water samples analyzed were compared with international standard. The results revealed that there were variations in the level of pollution in each site which could be traced to seasonal variations. Both the physical and chemical qualities of the water at the sites were impaired Pollution level was found to be significantly high in dry season but relatively low in rainy season. The with site C been the most polluted site
