The concentrations of Mn in Edagberi Creek among the stations varied between 0.005 ± 0.003 - 0.486 ± 0.06 mg/L
The observations on the concentrations of Mn in the present work fall within the range of value observed in in Drini Bardhë River [14] and within the range of values observed in Orashi River, Rivers State, Nigeria [15]
Summary
The continuous monitoring of any aquatic medium is very important in the evaluation, management and legislative process for the renewal, restoration, safety and protection of the aquatic environment. These combined activities help to put in place the integrity of aquatic biota and the general environmental geochemistry. Documented evidence has proven that heavy metals are increased in the environment as a result of industrial and agricultural activities [1,2]. Increased wastes discharge, bunkering activities, illegal refining of petroleum products, application of pesticides and fertilizers in agricultural farms have been associated with rise in population [5]
