Abstract

Due to the increase in population and industrialization growth, most countries in the world depend on groundwater to meet agriculture demands for food production. The increase in water contamination due to indiscriminate solid wastes has necessitated the assessment of water quality and its suitability for agricultural usage. Twenty four groundwater and ten stream water samples were randomly collected from the downslope and upslope side of the dumpsite for all the major physio-chemical parameters. The pH of water samples indicates slightly acidic to alkaline in nature. High concentrations of nitrate, total dissolved solids and electrical conductivity suggest the impact of the waste on the water resource. Assessment of irrigation water quality based on Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Soluble Sodium Percentage (SSP), Permeability Index (PI) and Magnesium content (MC) indicated that most of the water samples fall within the permissible standard for irrigation water. Thus, the water should be used with caution on crops for long time agricultural sustainability.

尼日利亚西南部伊巴丹Lapite垃圾场周边地下水水化学评价对灌溉水质的影响

由于人口的增长和工业化的发展，世界上大多数国家都依赖地下水来满足农业对粮食生产的需求。由于固体废物造成的水污染日益严重，有必要对水质及其是否适合农业使用进行评估。在排土场下坡和上坡随机采集了24个地下水样本和10个水样，进行了主要理化参数的测定。水样的pH值显示为微酸性至碱性。高浓度的硝酸盐、总溶解固体和电导率表明废物对水资源的影响。根据钠吸附比(SAR)、可溶性钠百分率(SSP)、渗透性指数(PI)和镁含量(MC)对灌溉水水质进行评价，结果表明，大部分水样均在灌溉水允许标准范围内。因此，为了农业的长期可持续性，应该谨慎地将水用于作物上。
