- Abstract
- Levels of physicochemical parameters (pH, phosphate, chloride, TKN, turbidity, conductivity, alkalinity, total dissolved solids, chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand, temperature, total hardness and total solid) were determined in the water samples collected from River Karola. The results of physicochemical analysis showed that phosphate and TKN were present in the water samples during dry season. Some of the physicochemical parameter values fall within WHO standard limits, some are not. Therefore, source protection is proposed for these bodies of water for the benefit of mankind because they were not safe for human consumption.
