Discussion

Monitoring reveals varied water quality parameters in Omi reservoir, indicating potential ecological risks.

Water quality parameters varied, with temperature ranging from 28.93°C to 29.37°C and pH from 6.80 to 7.00.
Significant seasonal variations were noted, with TDS and EC higher during the rainy season, while pH peaked in the dry season.
Igeo analysis indicated low to moderate pollution levels, particularly for cadmium which was a major pollution source.
Routine monitoring and careful management strategies are essential to mitigate water pollution risks for aquatic life.

Ameh et al. (2025) studied this question.
