| dc.description.abstract | The chemical properties of surface water are some of the indicators used to
assess the health of lakes and rivers. They provide valuable information that
can be used to understand how natural and man-made activities affect the
aquatic ecosystem. Monitoring the changes in chemical properties can assist
local communities and environmentalists on how to respond to any developing
or on-going problems in the body of water. The chemical properties of rivers and
lakes are influenced by numerous factors which include hydrological processes,
climate and anthropogenic activities.
Parameters including pH, conductivity and concentrations of compounds
containing sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) are
used to assess water quality. pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of water
and conductivity is an indicator of the concentrations of dissolved ions in the
sample. The concentrations of compounds of Na, K, Ca, and Mg are used to
assess the suitability of the use of a given body of water. | en_US |
