| dc.description.sponsorship | The disposal of untreated abattoir waste in a populated and commercially vibrant city of Ore, Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State, Nigeria poses a deleterious environmental threat. This study aims to delineate surface water contamination due to abattoir effluent discharged into Omi-nla River and groundwater contamination due to leachate percolating into the hand-dug wells close to the abattoir. Water samples were collected at the upstream and downstream to show if the abattoir effluent contaminates the water or not, also the analyses were carried out during the rainy season and dry season to reflect seasonal variation in water quality. The water quality parameters measured included pH, temperature, turbidity, electrical conductivity, chloride, total hardness, total alkalinity, acidity, magnesium hardness, total dissolved solid, total suspended solid, biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, heavy metals, sulphate, nitrate, phosphate and microbial analysis. The data obtained were analysed using standard procedure; descriptive and inferential statistics. However, the river was modelled to determine the pollution level at any given distance. The result shows that the physicochemical and bacteriological properties of most of the sample collected in wet and dry season from different location in this study (UGW, DGW, DSWS2, DSWS1 and DP) were significantly correlated (P < 0.05) to the control experimental sample (USW1). Although, for the groundwater collected from the upstream that have a correlation value of 0.194 which is not significant at 5% probability level and there is a significant (P<0.05) seasonal variation in the physicochemical and bacteriological properties of the Omi-nla river. However, most of the physical properties agrees with WHO standard, whilst, the chemical and bacteriological qualities were above the permissible limit when compared with WHO standard. Thus, this study anchors on the need for treatment of abattoir wastes before being discharged into the environment. | en_US |
