Assessment of Physicochemical and Microbial Suitability of Some Selected Surface Water around Ile?Ife Southwest Nigeria for Irrigation
Author(s): Agboola Temitope Deborah*, Bisi-Johnson Mary and Tomere Daubotei
This study investigated the physicochemical parameters as well as the microbial quality of certain water bodies used for irrigation purposes in Ife East and Ife Central Local Government Areas of Osun State, Nigeria. Physicochemical parameters of samples were measured following standard methods. The identity and population of autochthonous bacteria were determined using standard microbiological methods between November 2018 and March 2019. The physicochemical parameters assessed in the irrigation water samples revealed that pH values of irrigation water sampled falls between 7.06 ± 0.08–8.40 ± 0.12, mean value of Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) ranges between 104.00 ± 1.41 and 461.3 ± 1.78 ppm while temperature was around 31.83 ± 0.51°C. Turbidity of the irrigation water sampled exceeded the recommended (˂5 NTU) range... View more»
