Abstract

The water samples were taken from Afaha stream, located in Essien Udim Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. The following physicochemical parameters and microbiological profile were analysed: pH, temperature, salinity, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total soluble solids, biochemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity, total acidic contents, total heterotrophic bacterial count and total heterotrophic fungal count. The results obtained indicated that there were changes in the parameters so analysed in the steam water while there were no significant changes in those of the commercial water. The pH increased from 6.55±0.06 to 6.75±0.01. Other parameters such as TA. TAC, DO, TDS, TSS, EC and BOD were found to be decreasing in the case of the stream water stored in the clay pod.
