“…This is a possible indication of anthropogenic inputs in exposed surface water within the study area, thereby imparting both temporary and permanent hardness therein (Wali et al 2019 ). Also, a strong to moderate correlation between NO 3 − and all the major ions analyzed further revealed anthropogenic contamination (Eldaw et al 2021 ). It may arise from indiscriminate open defecation which is the predominant practice in mostly rural areas, and also the application of fertilizers and pesticides on farmlands.…”

This research attempts to assess the hydrochemistry of major ions, the quality of surface and subsurface water, as well as its suitability for domestic and agricultural uses, in parts of the Southern Benue Trough. A total of thirty water samples were collected and analyzed in the laboratory using standard practices. Results revealed that the concentration of major cations for both surface and groundwater is in the order: Na + > Ca 2+ > Mg 2+ > K + , while major anionic constituents are, respectively, present in the order: Cl − > HCO 3 − > CO 3 2− > NO 3 − > SO 4 2− and HCO 3 − > CI − > CO 3 2− > NO 3 − > SO 4 2− for surface and groundwater. The water quality index (WQI) model revealed that 100% of the surface water is of good quality for domestic and other uses, while 29.17% and 70.83% of the groundwater are of excellent and good quality, respectively. Three water types were identified, namely Na–Cl, Ca–Mg–HCO 3 , and Na–HCO 3 . Lastly agricultural indices (total hardness, TH, percent sodium, %Na, sodium absorption ratio, SAR, residual sodium carbonate, RSC, permeability index, PI and magnesium hazard, MH) computed along with various plots, revealed that the analyzed surface and subsurface water are suitable for irrigation purposes. The application of plots, tables, and models based on the major ionic constituents, gives fast and effective visualization of the quality and chemistry of surface water and groundwater.

“…This suggestion was supported by the nding of [16] that soil pH decreased with wastewater irrigation due to the oxidation of organic compounds and nitri cation of ammonium. Nitri cation of this ammonium would serve as a source of hydrogen ions, which may lead to a decrease in the soil pH [13].…”

In many arid and semiarid countries, wastewater irrigation is becoming a common practice in agriculture. Commitment of government and social intervention for more effective waste management are the major constraints. The study was conducted in eastern Ethiopia to identify the impacts of municipal wastewater soil physicochemical properties and irrigation water quality. Soil samples were collected from different farm fields to determine the physical and chemical properties of soil, and heavy metal accumulation at different irrigation farms and wastewater samples were also analyzed. Manusipal wastewater taken from different study sites was categorized into three groups: control (nonirrigated), municipal wastewater irrigated farmland and municipal wastewater irrigated farmland. The results showed that bulk density was negatively decreased and moisture contents and total porosity were significantly increased. The soil EC, cadmium, lead available phosphorus, OM, and CEC levels significantly increased with increasing wastewater application. The concentrations of Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb and Cr are highwere higher in irrigated effluent than in nonirrigated effluent. Untreated and treated MWW were tested for heavy metal presence and accumulation. The soil OM increased as the content in the soil also increased as the number of irrigations increased. The most effective way to eliminate the impact of this municipal wastewater on the soil and water is to develop and implement an effective wastewater management plan. Limited studies have been done, and they should be encouraged to address municipal wastewater impacts on plants and farmers. The government should be focused on awareness of creation and management systems.
