| dc.description.abstract | A comprehension analysis of a river system such as that of Njaba river reveals so much about physical, chemical and biological characteristics of a typical lotic aquatic ecosystem. An analysis of this river system was conducted between February and October, 2010 and so much findings were discovered as regards its physicochemical as well as bacteriological properties. Because a lot of external factors interplay on the quality of the river system, attention was place on these anthropogenic activities and water utilization patterns to ascertain environmental indicators that influence the status of its quality. Frequent environmental reconnaissance surveys were conducted based on samples collected from the river. Results obtained from laboratory analysis showed the Njaba River had high conductivity due to the presence of free ion acid radical. The presents of a high level of copper concentration was attributed to this. This had a lot of determine the kind of microbial activities predominant in the river system. The results obtained showed a high level of total coliform bacteria. Some of the anthropogenic activities attributed for this results included defecation. Solid waste disposal, cassava fermentation, washing of entrails from animals etc. it is recommended that appropriate monitoring techniques and laws be applied by the government so as to conserved these aquatic resources. | |
