Discussion

Cross-sectional analysis examines heavy metal levels and physicochemical parameters in water and sediment, indicating contamination concerns.

Manganese and cadmium levels exceeded WHO permissible limits, raising environmental health concerns.
Water samples showed safe levels for copper, cadmium, and lead, while manganese elevated above safe thresholds.
Sediment analyses revealed contaminants with cadmium and manganese surpassing acceptable standards.
Seasonal variations detected higher concentrations of manganese and lead during the wet season, indicating runoff effects.

Leleko et al. (2025) studied this question.
