Effect of temperature on D.O and T.D.S: A measure of Ground and Surface Water Interaction

To statistically quantify ground and surface water interaction using temperature as a tracer its effect on chemical properties of rivers, total number 30 sample points were selected at regular intervals along the profile two rivers. Ten upper Ona River, ten Alaro remaining lower section river. Also, corresponding nearby groundwater samples obtained from parallel source, for each so to aid comparison. The coordinates river global positioning system (GPS) device. result investigation showed that (Total Dissolved Solid Oxygen) vary significantly while third (Temperature) does not across extending upstream downstream section. It was further observed underlying geology in terms rock types have significant influence body, this corroborated through comparison against water. No correlation between dissolved solids oxygen, thus inferring no form noteworthy considered parameters study. analysis gradients provided an insight quantitative estimates rates use statistics possible inferred direction.
