ABSTRACT

This project is focused on the evaluation ofthe impact of untreated sewage effluent on farm lands. Use ofsewage water for irrigation improved chemical properties and fertility status in soil. Sewage water contains elements essential for plant growth and also contains heavy metals which may be toxic for animals iftheir concentration exceeds than permissible limit. To monitor this situation, a survey was conducted to ascertain the addition of heavy metals into agricultural fields through sewage water irrigation for grass crop in the farmlands of selected areas of Sancaros farm in Awgu local government area of Enugu state. The results indicated that in sewage water the permissible amounts oftotal N, total P and potassium which are considered essential nutrients for productivity levels (grass growth) and soil fertility. The results showed that TDS, TSS, ion calcium, nitrate, chloride, magnesium, electrical conductivity, BOD, turbidity, color, temperature, zinc, odour and total hardness ai e significantly difference (p<0.05) at point source when compared with values obtained at upstream. TCG and E. coll are the only variables that recorded higher values at upstieam and downstream ofEmene River. This shows that non-point sources are contributory to microbial pollution of Emene River. Nine variables exceeded maximum permissible limit (MPL) in all the sample points, while seven variables exceeded MPL at control point of Emene River.
