Abstract:
In no small amount, human actions, including industrialization and farming practices, have
contributed enormously to the destruction and contamination of the atmosphere that adversely
affects the bodies of water (rivers and oceans) that are important for life. This paper aims to
discuss simply what water pollution is and to address the cause, impact regulation and water
pollution management as a whole in equal measure. Some recommendations have been
mentioned, such as introducing environmental education.
This research focuses on assessing the level of microbiological contamination, the concentration
of heavy metals in water Zn, Cr, Fe, Pb, Mn. And the nutrient content of phosphate
concentrations found in water samples. The samples were obtained from the administrative
block, organ house, ICT center, clinic center, collage of basic and applied research, humanities
and management studies collage, new Elizabeth female hostel, rejection hall boys hostel,
cafeteria, library, from ten separate locations in mountain top university.
The results obtained from the experiment carried out show water pollution in samples from
CBAS, Canteen, Administrative block, with lead ranging from 0.012-0.45 mg/l and iron ranging
from 012-0319 mg/l but with good and acceptable concentration of other metals tested for,
phosphate is also at standard concentration. The sample's conductivity, concentration, and
temperature are normal, but the pH ranges from 5.9 to 6.7, which indicates water acidity.
Therefore from result obtain the extent of water pollution in Mountain Top University is mild
and can be corrected.
