In the study, health risk assessment on heavy metals ingestion was presented through the groundwater drinking pathway for residents in an oil and gas producing area of Rivers State, Nigeria. The level of the ground water pollution was examined, the quality of the borehole and the well water was assessed and the quality of the ground water pathway for the resident in the oil and gas producing area was determined and compared with the national and international standards for the drinking water. This study adopted both the field and laboratory experimental analysis of physical and chemical parameters. Water samples were analyzed for Physico-chemical parameters following acceptable methods to determine the compliance, and the results were analyzed according to drinking water guidelines. Interestingly, the results show that the ground water contained high amounts of turbidity (21.5 NTU, 23.00 NTU and 19.0 NTU in the borehole water and well water), iron (5.3 mg/L in the ground water and 6.98 mg/L in the borehole water) and pHs of all water samples were acidic in the study area. These results show that ground waters including the borehole and the well waters of the study area had acquired reasonable levels of pollution. Whereas, other values were found to be lower or above and corHow to cite this paper: Olalekan, R.M.,

“…The excessive amount of this ion in the groundwater is due to its conservative nature which makes it free from ion exchange, adsorption and biological activities. On the other hand, anions of strong acids (SO4 + Cl) dominate over weak acids (HCO3 + CO3) which indicate anthropogenic influence in the groundwater system [32]. It is evident by the fact that intense agricultural activity is common in Gadap town since long and the unlined sanitation is also adding up the ions in the groundwater system of study area.…”

Present study is aimed at assessment of groundwater quality of Gadap Town for drinking purpose using water quality index (WQI) technique. Gadap is located in the outskirt of Karachi city and mainly influenced by the agriculture activities. Groundwater samples (n = 22) were collected mainly from boring wells and a few through tube wells from variable depths (100-600 feet). The analytical results of water reveal occurrence of very high TDS (range: 466-3810; mean: 1402) and hardness contents (range: 250-2800 mg/L). On the other hand, pH varies (range: 6.9-8.1; mean: 7.5) within WHO guidelines (6.5-8.5) with a few samples showing turbidity. About one third of total collected samples (n = 8) were analyzed for qualitative determination of microbial contamination which are found positive, except one sample, indicating the sewage mixing. Major chemistry of groundwater is also found disturbed in terms of high content of Na (mean: 219 mg/L), K (mean: 15 mg/L), Ca (mean: 144 mg/L) and Mg (mean: mg/L 137). Similarly, anions varied in the order of Cl > HCO3 > SO4 > NO3. Although some parameters show the bad quality of water but Water quality index (WQI) value (16.18) indicates that the groundwater quality is suitable for drinking purpose. It is inferred from the present study that water quality is partly polluted due to anthropogenic activities mainly by sewage infiltration.

“…Nearly 700 million of rural Indians depend on groundwater for their daily needs and nearly 48% of the urban water requirements are met from groundwater Leaching of contaminants of anthropogenic origin does influence the groundwater chemistry (Potapova and Charles 2003;Anshumali et al, 2014;Ahada and Suthar, 2017). Once an aquifer contamination occurs due to agricultural, industrial and urban development, it persists for hundreds of years because of very slow movement of water in aquifers (Jerry, 1986;Bikundia and Mohan, 2014).…”

This study investigates the groundwater quality of Singrauli power belt region in Central India. Ground water samples were collected from 54 representative sites during pre and post monsoon seasons and analysed for pH, EC, TDS, TH, major ions (Na 2+ , K + , Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , SO 4 2-, NO 3-, F-, Cl-) and heavy metals (Fe, Cr, Mn). Groundwater samples dominantly belonged to Ca-Mg-HCO 3 water type. Gibbs ratios indicated that rock weathering is the major driving force for controlling the groundwater chemistry. Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Na + , K + , HCO 3-, Cl-, SO 4 2concentrations in the groundwater were well within the permissible limits as recommended by WHO for drinking water. A total of 35% and 44% of the samples during post and pre monsoon season, respectively, had exceeded the Fconcentrations compared to WHO recommended limits of 1.5 mg/ L. Likewise, a total of 22% and 26% of the samples had exceeded their regulatory limits of NO 3 i.e., 45 mg/L during post and pre monsoon seasons, respectively. High fluoride in groundwater near fly ash ponds indicated contamination through leaching from ash ponds. High NO 3 could be attributed to the formation of nitrogen oxides during coal combustion, their deposition on the surface and subsequently leaching to groundwater. Majority of samples had Fe and Cr concentration exceeding the WHO permissible limits, thus rendering water unfit for drinking purpose. Parameters like percent sodium (%Na), electrical conductivity (EC), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), magnesium hazard (MH) permeability index (PI), chloroalkaline indices (CAI) and Kelly's index suggest that majority of groundwater samples were good for irrigation purpose. The USSL plot suggested that majority of groundwater belonged to C 3 S 1 class, representing high salinity hazard and low alkali hazards water, which requires proper drainage otherwise it can adversely affect the soil.
