Analysis reveals heavy metal levels exceed safety standards in irrigation water, highlighting ecological risks.

Heavy metal concentrations in irrigation water often exceed safety limits, posing ecological risks.
Cadmium showed moderate ecological risk, while other metals remained within safe thresholds during seasonal assessments.
Seasonal variations in metal concentrations were observed, with higher levels during the dry season versus the wet season.
Geological sources and agrochemical runoff were identified as contributing factors to the elevated cadmium levels.

Isah et al. (2025) studied this question.
