AMINU IBRAHIM
A study on water quality in relation to irrigation was conducted at River Ginzo. The aim of the study physicochemical water pollution of River Ginzo’s seasonal variations for irrigation, Katsina State. Improper monitoring the level of water quality in the river may lead to contamination of the water and low yield of irrigation. Water samples were collected at ten points in wet and dry seasons 2023/2024 each i.e. ten samples stations, thirteen parameters were analyzed using standard laboratory techniques. The parameters include Temperature (T), pH, Electric Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolve Solid (TDS), Turbidity (Tur), Total Hardness (TH), Chloride (Cl), Nitrate (NO3), Dissolve Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD).
