“…Most of the borehole water samplings, especially 64.0%, are within the faintly acidic portentous suspension of composite crypt rocks. According to (Nwankwoala et al, 2018), Water is essential for life and one of the most significant factors in determining the quality of life of humans. Groundwater is one of the most refined forms of water available in nature.…”

Study’s Excerpt/Novelty• This study provides novel insights into the geochemical parameters of surface and groundwater in Zuru, Kebbi State, revealing significant differences in water quality. • By systematically comparing these values against WHO standards, the research identifies groundwater as more suitable for consumption and domestic use. • This comparative analysis offers new, region-specific data that contributes to the understanding of water quality in southern Kebbi State, addressing a critical gap in localized environmental health research. Full Abstract As one of the fundamental elements of life, living nature could not survive without water. Contaminated water consumption can lead to water-borne diseases and can also cause gastrointestinal illnesses, nervous system illnesses, reproductive effects, and chronic diseases such as cancer. In this study, some geochemical parameters were analysed for surface and undergroundwater around Zuru in southern part of Kebbi state. The result was compared with WHO's prescribed standard for quality water consumption. Four samples of each surface and groundwater were collected from various geographical locations within Zuru for analyses to determine density, conductivity, total hardness, calcium (Ca2+) hardness, magnesium (Mg2+) hardness, pH, and total dissolved solids (TDS) by employing scientific and technological approaches. Surface water has higher values for mean total hardness (93.8 mg/L), the average value for calcium (62.0 mg/L), magnesium (Mg2+) hardness (44.0 mg/L), and the mean value for total dissolved solids (TDS) (620 mg/L), while groundwater has lower values for mean total hardness (30.0 mg/L), the average value for calcium (26.0 mg/L), magnesium (Mg2+) hardness (17.0 mg/L) and mean value for total dissolved solids (TDS) (564.5 mg/L). Groundwater has higher values of average density (0.92 g/cm3), conductivity (114.3µS/cm), and average pH level (7.0), while surface water has lower values of average density for (0.90 g/cm3), conductivity (76.1µS/cm), and average pH level (6.9). The research has shown that groundwater is favourably more recommended for drinking and other domestic usages.

Data-driven models derived from data science tools have been used to investigate water quality in some parts of the Niger Delta Region (NDR) of Nigeria. 11 communities were affected in this study. 11 water samples obtained from 25 available sources collected from January 2019 to December 2019 include rainwater, surface water and groundwater. These samples were analysed for their physicochemical and bacteriological parameters. The physical characteristics of the water points range from pH of 6.61-7.2, electrical conductivity (EC) of 450-1742 unit, the turbidity of 0.72-13.65 unit, and total dissolved solids (TDS) of 225-794. The chemical scientific dataset generated were subjected to several scientific data models such as principal component analysis (PCA), piper, Pie, Collins, and Schoeller interpretation. There is a piece of evidence that the water resources are potable in sections where Escherichia coli and total coliforms do not exceed the international and regional recommended limits of 0 per 100 ml of the sample. Also, the community water points are good for livestock and excellent for both recreation and irrigation purposes. Possible water contamination sources include faecal pollution from shallow wells and unconfined aquifers. Land use planning, enactment and implementation of environmental laws are necessary for this region to have effective surface water and groundwater resource management.

The socioeconomic and environmental considerations of energy production have become crucial due to the increasing complexity of the relationship between energy and the environment. In this context, this study aims to develop possible mechanisms for perspectives of energy policy on environmental by exploring the mediating role of renewable energy patents.The study used a non-radial data envelopment analysis (DEA) model and panel data model for 30 Chinese provinces by taking the panel data from 2010 to 2017. The results show that the overall environmental performance index (EPI) of Chinese areas is improved by 9.88% from 2010 to 2017. Further, The econometric model findings offer evidence that provincial renewable energy policies and emission reduction policies positively impact the enhancement of EPI. The results also show that the P values of the single-threshold model and the doublethreshold model both passed the 1% significance test, so it can be concluded that there is a double-threshold effect. Finally, the research findings posed several policy implications based on the research findings.
