CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Since the beginning of concern over the possible
consequences of global warming, it has been widely recognized that
changes in the cycling of waters between land, sea and air could have
very significant impacts across many sectors of the economy, society and
the environment. The characteristics of many terrestrial ecosystems,
for example are heavily influenced by water availability, in the case of
aquatic ecosystems, the quantity and quality of water in rivers and
aquifers is fundamental to human, aquatic life and many activities. Most
obviously agriculture use, industry use, power generation,
transportation and waste constraint on economic development.
Consequently, there have been a great many studies into the potential
effect of climatic change on hydrology (focusing of cycling of water and
water quality aspects with its proper analysis and assessment).
The
majority of these studies have concentrated on possible changes in the
water balance for example, the quality of stream water, impacts of the
changes in the gravity of water such as the reliability of a water
sources (supply) or the risk of contaminated source. This study focuses
on techniques adopted to determine the quality of water, by carrying out
chemical text, biological text and physical text on Otammiri River to
ascertain its quality and beneficial use of water.
Water And The Hydrologic Cycle
Water
begins its never ceasing cycle as vapour in the atmosphere as well as
the water in the lakes and oceans, provides protection against extremes
of both heat and cold. Hydrologic cycle refers to the complete movement
of water from the atmosphere and below the earth surface. It includes
water precipitation as rain, snow, hail or dew, it journey over around
and through obstacles above on and below the earths surface and its
eventual evaporation and return to the atmosphere. It is the longest
water purification system known to man.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]This Research or project is on the Assessment of the contributions of the hydrologic cycle to the water quality profile of Otamiri River. Since the quality of the River is polluted by the waste from different sources. This project or research which its objective is to find out exactly the contributions of the hydrologic cycle to the water quality of otamiri river and the health implications of these sorts department to the users of possible solutions to the problems observed in this cause of the ...
