well waters fluoride in enugu, nigeria

abnormal fluoride levels in drinking water have been associated with adverse health effects. to determine the fluoride content of well waters in enugu, southeastern nigeria, water samples from 50 artisan wells chosen by multistage sampling procedure from the 5 zones of enugu municipality were analyzed in duplicates for their fluoride content. the zonal mean values were 0.60, 0.70, 0.62, 0.62, a...

Saline Waters: a Potential Source of Actinomycetes Possessing Antibacterial Activity

Microorganisms growing in saline environments represent an important source of biologically active compounds. Such environments are distributed all over the world and mainly include oceans, coastal and deep sea locations, soda lakes, soda deserts as well as artificial salterns. Many antibacterial, antifungal, anti-tumor, cytotoxic and photo protective compounds have been isolated till date from...

Surface Energy Balance of Fresh and Saline Waters: AquaSEBS

Current earth observation models do not take into account the influence of water salinity on the evaporation rate, even though the salinity influences the evaporation rate by affecting the density and latent heat of vaporization. In this paper, we adapt the SEBS (Surface Energy Balance System) model for large water bodies and add the effect of water salinity to the evaporation rate. Firstly, SE...

Fluctuating Fisheries in Africa's Inland Waters: Well

This paper evaluates evidence that fish stocks in Africa's inland waters are climate-driven and cannot be stabilized by conventional fisheries management measures. We draw on published material and our own recent and on-going research in Lake Chad and the East African Great Lakes area to propose that fisherfolk's livelihood strategies are well adapted to both seasonal and inter-annual climate-i...
