Abstract:Surface water chemistry evolution of Ekulu River was conducted by inverse geochemical modelling using the PHREEQC computer program. In this study, samples were collected from the Ekulu river at 100m intervals, and were taken to the laboratory for major anions and cations, heavy metal and bacterial content analyses. Inverse geochemical modelling results reveal that the river evolved as a result of dissolution of siderite, quartz, gypsum, galena, sphalerite, pyrolusite and precipitation of goethite and pyrite.
