Assessment of Irrigation Water Quality Parameters of Nyandungu Wetlands
2021
The present paper sought to assess some physico-chemical parameters above
permissible guidelines of irrigation water standard, the study was carried during
establishment of Ecotourism Park. The field survey design was used and it was
accompanied by laboratory tests to analyze the levels of
physico-chemical parameters in both seasons (dry season and wet seasons) for
water bodies as well as groundwater. The physical chemical parameters analysed
were Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Soluble Sodium Percentage (SSP) Magnesium Adsorption
Ratio (MAR) Kelly Index (KI) Total Hardness (TH), pH, the Electric conductivity
(EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Our analyzed samples fall into permissible limit of irrigation water quality,
the mean values of electrical conductivity were high. The knowledge from this
study will be used in establishment of Nyandungu recreation park irrigating
with water quality on gardens surrounding recreation park and local community.
