Attempts have been made to investigate the water quality aspects at 8 sampling sites in Lake Nyamagoma by
applying the hydrochemistry specific ion ratios during both wet and dry seasons. Standard methods and experimental
procedures were acquired to analyze the filtered water samples in the laboratory using the Inductively Coupled
Plasma (ICP) machine for chemical determination. Data from the study depict significant variations in the water
quality parameters across the two seasons amongst the sampling sites. This phenomenon hampers the water quality
in the lake. Various processes are inferred as driving forces including dissolution, precipitation, decomposition,
nitrification, denitrification, fixation, evaporation-crystallization, cation exchange, adsorption, photosynthesis and
dilution effect. The geology of the area also seems to favor the observed trends. It is recommended that a long term
water quality assessment be acquired to sustainably address the environmental management aspects of the Lake
Nyamagoma within the Malagarasi Wetland Ecosystem. |
