Study was
conducted on the physico-chemical water properties of Zobe reservor Dutsinma,
Katsina State Nigeria. Water samples were collected
from four different sample stations i.e., Makera, Badole, Garhi and
Bagaggadi respectively, for the period of one year (May 2015 to April 2016).
Samples for
Conductivity, pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Temperature, Alkalinity, Turbidity,
Hardness, Chloride, and Nitrate were collected during the morning hours,
between 7:00 am to 9:00 am.
The result showed
variations in the monthly mean values of all the water quality parameters
tested. The water is too turbid most especially during the beginning
of raining season, despite this variation some of the values were within
the tolerable range of the majority of tropical fresh water fish species. But
the water cannot be used for domestic use unless it undergoes intensive
treatment.
