Abstract Improper solid waste management in Kano Metropolis, Nigeria has become a serious threat to human health and ground water quality. Groundwater monitoring should be conducted to assess the groundwater contamination, especially originated from leachate generated from the dumpsites. Most of the dumpsites are located nearby water body that subsequently affecting the quality of the water for human purposes. This study aims to investigate the relationships between different physical-chemical and biological parameters during the two seasons (dry and wet seasons) in Kano Metropolis area as well as to identify the sources of variation during the two seasons. The level of some physical-chemical and biological parameters of the groundwater (wells) and dump sites were assessed (i.e. temperature, pH, conductivity, suspended solids, turbidity, hardness colour, e-coli and coliform). Mean concentration of some physical-chemical and biological parameters except that of temperature, colour, pH and total dissolved solids were found to be above the acceptable limit of the National and International standard of drinking water quality, NESREA and WHO. The sources and variations of the samples results were tested using statistical analysis. The water samples show a considerable level of pollution. The analysis of the groundwater and that of dump sites reveals no significant difference in the parameters measured. It is therefore recommended that the water from this source should be monitored and treated properly before consumption.

Abstract: Groundwater is one of the earth’s most widely distributed and most important natural resources. Groundwater exists, wherever water penetrates beneath the surface. The rocks beneath the surface are permeable enough to transmit water, and at places, the rate of infiltration is so sufficient that the rocks are saturated to an appreciable thickness. This water may be fresh or brackish in quality. As the fresh water constitutes very little quantity of the total water available, we must think as to how best we can exploit it, and utilize it. With the growth of population, today in many of the places water has become a critical source. In many places it is dwindling both in quality and quantity, creating problems for the communities involved. Water Quality Index indicates the quality of drinking water by assessing physical, chemical and biological parameters of water. India had the most studies, with 177 articles, followed by China, Brazil and the United States. This four countries together published 57% of studies on WQI. Groundwater quality implies the level of concentration of different constituents of water which is ultimately described if it is suitable or not for drinking or other purpose such as irrigation. There are mainly three types of constituents or parameters for describing quality of groundwater as physiological, chemical and biological parameters. These parameters are described below: EC ,TDS, K, Na, Ca ,Mg ,TH, Co3, HCO3, Cl, SO4 ,and also we determine some trace element such as Copper (Cu) ,Lead (Pb), Manganese (Mn) ,Nickel (Ni) ,Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn).

In this work we performed a complex geographical analysis of the Bovan Lake basin, Serbia, as well as an analysis of the physical, chemical and biological parameters of water reservoir during a one-year period. The basic sanitary characteristics and physical, chemical and biological parameters, necessary for understanding locality conditions, were studied, and the saprobity index, class of quality, index O/H, degree of saprobity, degree of trophicity and category based on the phosphatase activity index (PAI), were determined. Our results classify the ecosystem as polytrophic. The degree of saprobity is oligosaprobic - beta mesosaprobic, with a catarobic degree in winter, classifying the water as III - IV class of quality. Due to the presence of organic residues, a domination of heterotrophic bacteria in comparison to oligotrophic bacteria is evident. The ability of autopurification is weak. The results indicate the need for continual monitoring of the water quality and environmental protection of Bovan Lake.

High Lake Levels

Water quality in the shallow littoral of Lake Kinneret was examined during a period of low water levels in 1989-1990. On calm days, no significant difference was found between the water quality on different sites around the lake or between the littoral and the open water. Lowering of the lake level in Lake Kinneret is associated with a major change in the nature of the bottom of the littoral zone in many sites, from rocky substrate in high lake levels (>212m below sea level) to sandy or clay in lower levels. During north-easterly storms, in winter, the concentrations of suspended solids and total phosphorus were markedly higher in leeward littoral sites compared to other regions of the littoral zone. This may be attributed to resuspension of sediments by the wave action over the soft bottom. In rainy winters, runoff, mainly Jordan River input, may locally affect the water quality and result in a north-south gradient.

The quality of ground water for drinking water needs is based on physical, chemical and biological parameters of Romang Polong. The researcher took 5 kinds of water as samples based on land use by applying the Storet method. The water sample was tested in the field and analyzed in the laboratory. The results obtained are compared with the specified based on criteria of water quality which indicated that groundwater in the Romang Polong is suitable to be used as drinking water quality standards at the point 2, 3, and 4. However, at the point 1 and 5 are not feasible to be used as drinking water quality standards. But, it is still feasible to use for household needs such as bathing and washing. It might be happened because the physical, chemical, and biological parameters exceeded the maximum permissible threshold based on the drinking water quality standard according to Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia No. 492 / MENKES / PER / IV / 2010.

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade da água das microbacias dos rios Jardim e Mutari, situadas no Extremo Sul da Bahia, através da avaliação de parâmetros físicos, químicos, microbiológicos e do uso e ocupação da terra. Para isso foram realizadas quatro coletas, em abril, maio, julho e outubro de 2019, em 8 pontos amostrais, selecionados de acordo com possíveis fontes pontuais e difusas de poluição. Foram analisados os parâmetros temperatura, potencial hidrogeniônico (pH), salinidade, oxigênio dissolvido (OD), demanda bioquímica de oxigênio (DBO), nitrito, nitrato, amônia, nitrogênio total (NT), fósforo total (PT), sólidos dissolvidos totais, coliformes totais e termotolerantes, que foram comparados com o estabelecido pela CONAMA n° 357/2005. Já as análises de uso e ocupação da terra, foram realizadas utilizando o software QGIS. Com os resultados obtidos observou-se que os parâmetros pH, OD, DBO, PT e NT apresentaram valores em desacordo com o permitido pela legislação, principalmente nos pontos próximos às áreas urbanizadas. A análise estatística multivariada PCA, permitiu identificar diferenças na qualidade da água das microbacias no período seco e chuvoso.Já o teste Kruskal-Wallis indicou diferença significativa entre os ambientes analisados. Nossos resultados indicam que é de suma importância a tomada de ações por parte do poder público que visem minimizar os impactos causados pelo uso e ocupação desordenada da terra e atividades agrícolas na qualidade da água dessas bacias hidrográficas. Cabe destacar também a importância de ações voltadas a educação ambiental principalmente da população ribeirinha.  Water Quality Assessment in Hydrographic Watersheds in the Extreme South of Bahia, BrazilA B S T R A C TThis study aimed to evaluate the water quality of the Jardim and Mutari rivers, located in southern Bahia, by means of evaluating physical, chemical and microbiological parameters and land use and occupation. Four campaigns were carried out in April, May, July, and October, 2019, at 8 stations, selected according to possible punctual and diffusive sources of pollution. The water quality results were compared with that established by CONAMA n.º 357/2005and the Water Quality Index (IQA) was calculated from these. For data analysis, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was also performed and Kruskal-Wallis tests were applied, using the PAST software.The land use and occupation analyses were performed using the QGIS software. We observed that the pH, OD, DBO, PT and NT were in disagreement with those allowed by the legislation, mainly near urban areas. The multivariate statistical analysis PCA, allowed to identify differences in the water quality of the watersheds in the dry and rainy period. The Kruskal-Wallis test indicated a significant difference between the environments analyzed.The supervised classification confirmed the need to recover areas along the riverbed within the analyzed micro-basins.Our results indicate it is crucial that public authorities act to minimize the impacts caused by the disorderly urban occupation and agricultural activities. It is also worth mentioning the importance of actions aimed at environmental education, mainly of the riverside population.Keywords: water quality, physical, chemical and biological parameters, hydrographic basins, rivers.
