ABSTRACT Quality water should be colourless, tasteless, odourless and free from faecal contamination. This study investigates the physiochemical and microbiological characteristics of sachet packaged water vended in four local government areas of Ekiti State, Nigeria of contamination of commercially vended packaged water and their public health implications. The four Local Government Areas were Ado-Ekiti L.G.A, Ikere L.G.A, ljero L.G.A and Ikole Local Government Areas of Ekiti State. Five sac...
ABSTRACT The aim of the present study is to know the effect of wastewater (sewage) discharge on the quality water in Ikole-Ekiti, Ekiti State Nigeria. The community discharges wastewater which affect the water quality with most of the wastewater coming from domestic wastewater. Associated with the development of the area, the increase of pollutants into the surface water has been majorly from domestic activities.

ABSTRACT The estimation of ionic strength and its activities in well water source within the vicinity of Ikole local government Ekiti state was conducted. A total of fifteen ( 15) water samples were collected from five locations (Al, A2, A3, Bl, B2, B3, Cl, C2, C3, DI, D2, D3, El, E2 and E3) from the study area. These samples were examined for major cations and major anions using Atomic Absorption Spectro-photometer (210 / 211 YGP (AAS)) and Technicon Auto analyzer AAII system respectively. F...
