Abstract

Physicochemical analysis were carried out on water samples from Ogun river collected from Lafenwa (a densely populated area) and Akin-Olugbade (a sparsely populated area) in Abeokuta Ogun state, Nigeria. The results obtained showed that parameters like Alkalinity, pH, acidity, Chloride, Magnesium and Calcium were in the normal range and Chromium, Lead, Nickel, Zinc and Cadmium contents were below detection limit. Parameters such as nitrite, total solid, total suspended solid and total dissolved solid, Manganese, Sodium, Potassium, Iron and Copper were found to be out of desirable levels. The turbidity values ranges between 67.35 and 76.81. Total solid, total suspended solid and total dissolved solid ranged 884.00 - 896.00, 446.00 - 448.09; 438.00 - 448.00 mg/l respectively.
