Physical and chemical characteristics of water from Okamini Stream, Obio/Akpor, Rivers State, Niger Delta, Nigeria
نویسندگان
چکیده
Water samples were collected from Okamini stream and analyzed for some physicochemical parameters. The values showed that electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, suspended chlorides, sulphates, nitrates phosphates within the range of acceptable domestic water use by WHO. Others such as turbidity, pH salinity not in human consumption. Although, at time evaluation may be an alarming situation, but calls adequate surveillance protection to avert possible decay looks eminent.

متن کاملLand and Poverty: Some Empirical Findings Using Cross Sectional Data from Niger Delta Region, Nigeria
Poverty is the most serious threat to natural resources and the environment and most of the poor are rural-based who engage in various agricultural activities. Land is a critical asset for the rural poor and lacking means to appropriately intensify agriculture which compels the poor to either overuse or misuse this natural resource base to meet basic needs. This study presents empirical relatio...
