dc.description.abstractABSTRAC T This analytical study was carried out on eight well-water samples from various locations in Samaru and Zaria town; two dam water samples from Zaria water works and Jos, one stream water sample from Gubuchi-Makarfi-Kaduna; the laboratory tap water in A.B.U., treated water sample from Zaria water works; and industrial effluent samples from nine different industries in Kaduna, Kano and Jos. These include the Superphosphate Fertilizer Company, Arewa and United Nigeria Textiles, Asbestos Company and Nigerian Breweries, all at Kakuri, Kaduna; Others are North Breweries in Kano, Brytex Soap and Detergent Company and Makeri Tin Smelting Company at Jos, The samples were analyzed for chemical factors such as total solids, alkalinity, total hardness, dissolved oxygen (D.O.), Biochemical oxygen demand (B.O.D.), total nitrogen, residual chlorine, sulphide and sulphate contents, metal ion contents which included sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper, lead, iron and zinc. The effect of coagulating agents on the suspended solid contents of the water samples was also determined. Prom the data collected an attempt has been made to (a) enumerate how the various water samples analyzed compare with each other, and how they measure up to stipulated quality standards of potable water for domestic and industrial uses. (b) compare the quality of treated and untreated water samples. (c) investigate quality or chemical contents of some effluent waste waters and their effects on some sources of urban water supplies.en_US
