TAILIEUCHUNG - Domestic Water Pollution among Local Communities in Nigeria ----Causes and Consequences

Nitrogen contamination may come from a variety of sources: municipal sewage, animal manure, atmospheric deposition, biological N fixation, soil organic N, and/or nitrogen fertilizers. The consequences of contamination in a specific water body will depend upon the amount of contamination from all sources and characteristics of the receiving waters. Shallow rivers, wetlands, lakes, and reservoirs, have some capacity to remove nitrogen by microbial denitrification. The susceptibility of estuaries and coastal waters to eutrophication depends on temperature, availability of phosphorus and silica for algae production, and the rate of water exchange with the open ocean | European Journal of Scientific Research ISSN 1450-216X 2011 EuroJournals Publishing Inc. 2011 http Domestic Water Pollution among Local Communities in Nigeria ----Causes and Consequences Galadima A.

Department of Biochemistry Molecular Biology Nasarawa State University Keffi Nigeria Abstract The paper focuses primarily on the causes consequences and ways of mitigating the ongoing fresh water pollution problems among Nigerian communities. Adequate supply of safe and sanitised fresh water is an inevitable factor for human and economic development. Although the recent global attention focuses on how the current and foreseeable water crisis and associated consequences would be addressed lack of education low budgetary funding inefficient government policies corruption drought and other anthropogenic factors are increasingly contributing to the pollution of domestic water in Nigeria. The homes local markets abattoirs oil and agricultural activities are consistently severing the limited fresh water sources through disposal of harmful wastes. This led to the emergence of several diseases and heavy metals poisoning across the country. The only ways forward are the proper sanitary awareness and waste management education adequate funding of water resources and health sectors effective implementation of judicial measures and adoption of lessons from key developed countries like United Kingdom. A collective approach .
