In Cameroon waste disposal by open dumping and landfilling are the most practised options. The siting, operation and after-care of landfills remain a challenging task. In this study we assessed water quality of stream, spring and leachate samples around/from the Mussaka landfill through physicochemical, heavy metal, microbial, phytoplankton, and benthic algae analyses. HCO3-, NH4-, NO3- concentrations are all above permissible limits EPA and WHO standards for freshwater systems. Concentrations of Ca2+ and Mg2+ in stream samples were far below standards but far greater (>480 mg/L) in spring and leachate samples. Nickel, lead and cadmium concentrations were above required standards. Contamination factors of all stream samples (CF<3) imply low to moderate contamination but pollution load index for spring sample (PLI>1) imply the spring is polluted. Generally, the obtained concentrations of most of these parameters were far higher for leachate than water samples. Total coliform counts ranged from 3.5 MPN/100mL to 1.1x103 MPN/100 mL. Five E. coli species were detected in all samples in counts ranging from 3.0x102 to 1.0x103CFU/mL. Thirty phytoplankton species belonging to 5 divisions were identified with Bacillariophyta (19 species) having the highest abundance and Euglenophyta (1 species) with least. Ten genera were identified as pollution indicator species. Results of this study justify the assertion that if upgrading options are not sought for the Mussaka landfill, it will become a major source of pollution of aquatic and soil ecosystems within the landfill area and downstream.

Abstract Prolonged drought, population growth and water demand for various purposes have increased the water scarcity issue. To overcome this issue, a rainwater harvesting system can be utilized as an alternative for clean water supply. A rainwater harvesting system is a method of collecting rainwater from man-made surfaces such as rooftops and constructed surfaces and can be used for various sectors including household, agricultural and commercial. This study was conducted to determine the quality of rainwater harvested collected directly from rooftop. The quality of the rooftop rainwater was taken in three consecutive months and the water quality for before and after treatment was measured and compared. Commercial activated carbon was used to treat the rainwater obtained from the rooftop. The water quality was compared with the Water Quality Index (WQI) and the National Water Quality Standards (NWQS). The parameters involved are pH, temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO), total suspended solids (TSS), ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD),E.coli and total coliform bacteria. The results showed that the total value of WQI before and after treatment was 86.3 ± 8.963 and 87.6±2.081, respectively. Positive correlations were found for parameter NH3-N, COD and pH, while paired T-test showed a significant in the COD and the presence of bacteria. Total Coliform is still at a safe level by NWQS with the average value and the standard deviation for before and after treatment were 38.11 ± 13.960 cfu/ml and 10.33 ± 6.671 cfu/ml, respectively.
