![]() ![]() The mean concentration of Lead (Pb), Iron (Fe) and Cadmium (Cd) were as high as 0.240.06 mg/L, 1. Domestic water sources were generally low in Dissolved Oxygen with the highest mean value of 2.13 ± 0.45mg/L for surface water. ![]() High Turbidity in 66.67% of surface water during the wet season. Result revealed a 66.7% acidification of the sampled domestic water sources with seasonal variation. Water pollution status of the coastline communities was determined using three pollution indices: Water Quality Index (WQI), Heavy metal Evaluation Index (HEI) and Heavy metal Pollution Index (HPI). GPS was used to identify the sampling points and Geostatistical technique was used to visualize the risky communities. This study assesses water quality, using pollution indices, within the coastline communities of southern Nigeria by examining a total of 48 samples of domestic water sources from 12 communities in Eastern Obolo for one year from November, 2017 to October, 2018. The investigation of water quality is crucial for the protection of health. ![]()
