TAILIEUCHUNG - Perceived Effect of Industrial Water Pollution on the Livelihood of Rural Dwellers in Yewa Area, Ogun State,Nigeria

The contribution of inorganic fertilizer to surface water N contamination increased after 1960 as the widespread and intensive use of inorganic N fertilizers rapidly expanded. [3] The use of N fertilizer has allowed greater production of feed and food crops per unit area cultivated. In the United States, 75% of N fertilizer is applied to maize, while in other countries, N fertilizer is primarily used on wheat and rice. Prior to 1960, nitrogen for crop production was obtained primarily by using crop rotations that included legumes such as clover and alfalfa, which can establish a symbiotic relationship with soil bacteria that can convert atmospheric N2 gas to biologically available forms of N. Commercial nitrogen fertilizer. | European Journal of Social Sciences - Volume 22 Number 1 2011 Perceived Effect of Industrial Water Pollution on the Livelihood of Rural Dwellers in Yewa Area Ogun State Nigeria Adebowale Oluseyi Dept of Agricultural Extension and Rural Development University of Ibadan E-mail sharonzworld2000@ Tel 2348132965488 Adebowale Oluwawemimo Oluseun Department of Veterinary Public Health and Reproduction University of Agriculture Abeokuta E-mail oluwawemimo1@ Tel 2348069181481 Oyesola Olutokunbo Birdie Dept of Agricultural Extension and Rural Development University of Ibadan E-mail oyetoks2002@ Tel 2348023250458 Abtract Environmental pollution arising from industrial activities causes economic hardship especially for rural dwellers whose livelihood and livelihood activities are sometimes completely destroyed. This study investigates the effect of industrial water pollution on the livelihood of rural dwellers in Yewa area. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 182 respondents for the study. Purposive sampling method was used to select two Ado odo ota where industrial effluents are released rivers and Yewa south. 90 and 92 respondents were selected from Ado odo ota downstream and Yewa south upstream rate was 95 . However the study shows that only a small proportion of respondents in Ado Odo Ota are involved in non agricultural income generating activities. There is a significant relationship between perceived effect of industrial water pollution and the livelihood activities of rural dwellers in the study area. r p . There is a relationship between perceived effect of industrial water pollution and respondents income -196 p . The impact of industrial water pollution is highest in Ado Odo Ota where effluent from industries had damaged their water resources and affected their livelihood a great deal. However measures must be taken to stem or eradicate the problems posed by these industries
