“…In situ parameters including; electrical conductivity (EC), hydrogen ion concentration (pH) and total dissolved solids (TDS) were determined with the aid of Extech meter probes (Exstik II). In the laboratory, the analysis of other parameters including total suspended solids (TSS), calcium, magnesium, sulphate, nitrate, phosphate, chloride, calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ), sodium, potassium, lead, copper, chromium, iron, zinc, manganese, cadmium, nickel, mercury, dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD 5 ), chemical oxygen demand (COD) were done using standard methods adopted from APHA (1998); (Radojevic &Bashkin, 1999, Idehen, & Ezenwa, 2019.…”
