dc.description.abstractHydrochemical evaluation and distribution of major and trace metals in water of Eleyele Lake and its feeding streams (tributaries) within Ibadan, south-western Nigeria is presented in respect of anthropogenic and geogenic contaminations from the surrounding catchments. The aim of the study is to delineate the degree of concentration of metals in the water phase. ICP-OES method was used for the hydrochemical analysis. The results revealed no practical contamination of these metals in terms of its domestic usability in both the tributaries and the main Lake because the values are below W.H.O. standard for potable water. The AF values are less than 1 and the Igeo- values less than 0. However, the average values of Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR) recorded in the feeding stream (tributaries) is 10.6 and 5.9 in the main Lake. This is an indication of potential problem for irrigation water. Furthermore, the major metals have good correlation coefficient values (>0.6) with one another. This shows their close associations and could be attributed to their geogenic sources from the catchments’ bedrock. Some of the trace metals show negative correlation with the major metals, TDS and the EC. This reflects different sources and controlling processes. The water is suitable for domestic purposes rather than Agriculture because of the Na + level contamination as revealed by the SAR valueen_US
