چکیده
N t This is one of a series of information sheets prepared for each country in which WaterAid works. The sheets aim to identify inorganic constituents of significant risk to health that may occur in groundwater in the country in question. The purpose of the sheets is to provide guidance to WaterAid Country Office staff on targeting efforts on water-quality testing and to encourage further thinking in the organisation on waterquality issues.

Assessing the potential risks of burial practices on groundwater quality in rural north-central Nigeria.
Several cultures of north-central Nigeria do not use community cemeteries. Instead, human remains are buried in and around family compounds, often in shallow and sometimes unmarked graves. At several locations, graves and drinking water wells end up too close to be presumed environmentally safe. This paper reports findings of a pilot study that explored the potential for groundwater contaminati...
متن کاملAssessment of Heavy Metals and Microbial Load of Groundwater Samples from Ibadan Metropolis Nigeria
The present study investigates groundwater quality in terms of heavy metals level and microbial contamination as well as the impact of bleaching powder on microbial load of groundwater samples in close proximity to a surface water body inside selected areas of Ibadan Nigeria. To do so, it collects nine water samples from three boreholes and six hand-dug wells from six locations, namely Eleyele,...

متن کاملPotential impacts of climate change and variability on groundwater resources in Nigeria
Climate change observed over the past decades has been consistently associated with modifications of components of the hydrological systems such as precipitation patterns, sea surface temperature, accelerated melting of glacier and ice caps, soil temperature and moisture, surface runoff and stream flow. Such changes are known to influence subsurface hydrological systems, which could lead to cha...
متن کاملDetermination of Groundwater Physiochemical Parameters of Shallow Aquifers in Agbowo and Ajibode Communities in Oyo State, Southwestern Nigeria
–Abundant as it may seem, in Nigeria, access to clean and potable water is a great challenge. Hence, the reason the physiochemical properties of the groundwater in Agbowo and Ajibode communities in Oyo State, Southwestern Nigeria was analyzed. Water samples were collected from fifteen shallow wells, with varying depths. The water quality parameters were analyzed in accordance to standard method...
