Quality of Water from Hand Dug Wells in Onitsha Metropolitan Areas of Nigeria

Summary Wide Range of human and anthropogenic activities impinges on the urban environment in most cities in Nigeria, to degrade the quality of water resources. Some of these activities (daily discharge of solid and liquid waste, industrial effluent, and physo-chemical weathering processes) are discharged directly on sources of water supply to the populace of Onitsha. Based on this problem, this paper examines the quality of water from hand-dug wells in Onitsha. 15 wells water samples were collected during the month of January, July, and August with the aid of sterilized containers. And sent to the laboratory for analyses, results showed that wells that are located close to dumpsites are more polluted in terms of turbidity, TSS, CaCo₂ conductivity salinity acidity, Pb, Fe and bacteriological quality of the well water. Also most of the hand-dug well water qualities are unsafe for human consumption, because they are generally above the WHO maximum acceptable threshold. Since this source of water form one of the major source of water to the inhabitants, there is need for purification proper disposal of waste, public education of the health implication of waste/impure water and other management measures.     

INFLUENCE OF WELL WATER QUALITY VARIABILITY ON SAMPLING DECISIONS AND MONITORING1

ABSTRACT: Local governmental agencies responsible for decisions in ground water quality management need not only data on ground water quality but they also must understand the relationship of accuracies and risks associated with this data as related to the number of wells to sample. In this report we address this problem by using the philosophical doctrines of probabilism and relativism with simple statistical procedures. This requires a reasonable estimate of the population variance in a quality parameter for a given management-unit area, and requires that the decisionmaker formulate constraints with an acceptable standard error of the sample mean and be willing to accept some level of probability of being Wrong. This technique is illustrated using a 21-year data base of well water chemical data in a 653 km² ground water quality study area in the San Joaquin Valley of California.

ASSESSMENT OF HYDRAULIC PROPERTIES IN AN UNCONFINED ALLUVIAL AQUIFER NEAR GRAND ISLAND,NEBRASKA1

ABSTRACT: A method is presented to analyze time-drawdown data from one or more observation wells for the calculation of four hydraulic parameters for unconfined aquifers: vertical hydraulic conductivity, horizontal hydraulic conductivity, storage coefficient, and specific yield. The hydraulic parameter results are further analyzed for reliability and the possible ranges of the actual parameter values. After verification using a theoretical example, the method was used to analyze pumping test data from 22 observation wells in an unconfined alluvial aquifer near Grand Island, Nebraska. Results indicate that this method can be used to efficiently calculate the four hydraulic parameters in this type of aquifer. The method can also identify the impact of measurement errors on the parameter estimates, and provide ranges of the actual parameter values. The parameter values calculated using this method were compared to those determined using other theories. It is found that this method is very useful for calculating the hydraulic properties from pumping test data and for analyzing the parameter reliability.

黄骅坳陷孔古4井原油的成因探讨

通过对黄骅孔古4井上古生界原油的地球化学特征及其与石炭系煤系烃源岩的亲缘关系研究,特别是与奥陶系原油、灰岩、下第三系原油饱和烃的甾、萜烷精细“指纹”对比研究后,我们认为孔古4井原油应属于上古生界煤系地层自生自储的原生油气藏,而并非下第三系抑或下古生界碳酸盐岩所生。孔古4井上古生界原生油气藏的发现对于华北地区特别是华北北部黄骅坳陷上古生界煤系地层的油气勘探具有重要意义。     

基于外部效应分析机井密度对地下水位的影响

农用机井的迅猛发展使地下水灌溉在我国的粮食生产中发挥了重要作用,但同时也使地下水面临超采严重和水位下降的严峻形势。为了可持续地利用地下水资源,政府需采取必要措施。鉴于地下水使用中存在的外部效应,合理控制机井密度可能是值得政府考虑的重要举措之一。然而,现有文献对机井密度与地下水位之间的关系仍缺乏实证分析。本研究以兰考县为案例研究区,结合有关部门的机井普查数据和研究小组搜集的农户调研数据,利用空间分析和计量模型分析,发现机井密度与地下水位之间具有显著的关系。具体而言,当某一机井100 m半径范围内的机井数目每增加一眼,该机井的水位显著下降约15 cm;机井密度对水位的边际影响随半径范围的扩大而下降。研究建议：政府在今后应采取有关措施控制机井密度,加强地下水取水许可证制度建设等配套措施。
