ABSTRACT
The assessment of dumpsite impact on soil and groundwater quality in Tudun Wada, Kaduna was carried out. Eight samples of soil and groundwater respectively were collected using grid sampling method and analysed by using Atomic Absorption spectrometer, colony counter, data logging spectrometer and oxygen meter, in Kaduna State Environmental Protection Authority (KEPA) laboratory. The results of the water samples obtained showed that most of the physicochemical parameters of the samples analysed such as temperature, pH, conductivity, TDS, dissolved oxygen, BOD, total alkalinity, chloride content, total hardness, sulphate, nitrate, phosphate, copper, cadmium, chromium, iron, lead and zinc were within the permissible limit by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Nigerian Standard Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ), while some parameters such as total dissolved solid and biochemical oxygen demand varied with the spartial position from the dumpsite, others such as sulphate and total hardness showed no regular distribution with regards to the distance from the dumpsite but are rather seeing as a function of geological formation of the area. On the other hand, the microbial parameters analysed, total coliform and hetetrophic count were found to be above the permissible limit which are for samples A1 to A8 were between 100 cfu/ml to 15 cfu/ml for the coliform count instead of 10 cfu/ml by the WHO and NSDWQ, while the hetetrophic count for samples A1 to A3 were between 152 cfu/ml to 110 cfu/ml instead of 100 cfu/ml permissible limit by the WHO. The community may be prone to microbial or pathogenic epidemic, if proper measures were not taken.
