Potential Risks

Several cultures of north-central Nigeria do not use community cemeteries. Instead, human remains are buried in and around family compounds, often in shallow and sometimes unmarked graves. At several locations, graves and drinking water wells end up too close to be presumed environmentally safe. This paper reports findings of a pilot study that explored the potential for groundwater contamination from gravesites in some rural settlements of north-central Nigeria. Preliminary results suggest that the long-standing burial practices among some cultures of rural north-central Nigeria may potentially compromise groundwater quality, which is, by far, their most important source of drinking water.

The water source of the people residing in Code Watershed is currently accessed from water wells, which are privately owned by most of the house. The urban area in the watershed is highly populated and its waste is disposed of into the ground, which contaminates groundwater. Therefore, an urban area located in a higher topography poses threats to the groundwater quality downstream. The research found that the groundwater in the lower part of Code Watershed was polluted because it received the waste discharge from the city upstream and, at the same time, had to deal with the existing pollution in it.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the groundwater quality of the Guarani/Serra Geral Integrated Aquifer System (GAIS / SGAIS) in a region located in the western part of the state of Santa Catarina. A total of 105 water wells were selected which five are exploring water from the Guarani Aquifer and 100 from the Serra Geral Aquifer. A sample of each well was submitted to microbiological (total coliforms and Escherichia coli) and physicochemical analyzes (dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity, alkalinity, chlorides, fluorine, sulfates, potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, nitrate). For analyze possible contamination by BTEX hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, xylenes) the water of 25 wells in the urban environment was analyzed in strategic points close to possible risk of risk contamination agents. In another 25 wells in the rural area the water was collected for analyze the presence of glyphosate. Some groundwater with turbidity, pH, iron, manganese, total and thermotolerant coliforms were found in disagreement with Ministry of Health Ordinance 2914/2011. Furthermore, there was no BTEX and glyphosate contamination detected in any of the wells.
