Fate and Distribution of Pesticides Residues in Water Sources in Nigeria: A Review
Abstract: The availability of safe and clean water access is very important for a healthy population. In this study, we reviewed the distribution of organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides in water sources in Nigeria. The reviewed studies showed that OCPs and OPs concentration in Nigerian surface water and sediments are high and at present the use of organochlorines and organophosphorous synthetic pesticide in agricultural and industrial sectors has created as a significant …

Influence of Contaminants on Ground Water and Associated Health Risk
Abstract: Due to the demand for safe water, groundwater quality which relates closely to human health has become as important as its quantity. Any place where surface water makes its way into ground water, organic chemicals and pathogens potentially can enter. Natural sources or numerous types of human activities can contaminate the ground water. Due to anthropogenic activities, like mining, and open dumping of industrial and domestic wastes which lead to …

The new method of purification of the industrial waste waters
Abstract: The main problem in the all existing electrofloatation methods of cleaning is the increase of the alkalization space near the cathode that leads to formation of the salts sediments on the cathode as a result of passing of the electric current through the water environment. The salts so tightly cover cathode’s surface that can cause the total curtailment of the process of electrofloatation. This can be explained by the fact …

Treatment of Dyeing Waste Water by Using Garlic Extract as a Natural Coagulant
Abstract: Coagulation is the process of removal of very fine particles by forming bigger flocs in the water. But this process is not much efficient in waste water treatment as in the treatment of drinking water. This is because of adding chemical coagulant for the treatment of waste water. Use of chemicals in treatment of dyeing waste water causes formation of non-biodegradable sludge. To avoid this we made an attempt in …

Study on Analysis and Design in Reinforcement Structure Joints of Water Tank Structure for Safety Human life
Abstract: A water tank is used to store water to surge over the daily requirement. In the construction of concrete structure for the storage of water and other liquids the imperviousness of concrete is most essential. The permeability of any uniform and thoroughly compacted concrete of given mix proportions is mainly dependent on water cement ratio. The increase in water cement ratio results in increase in the permeability. The decrease in …
