AB  - Seasonal studies of water quality in partially protected shallow
wells in Akure, Nigeria were carried out. The well waters were of high
chemical quality, but higher values of parameters in the early rainy
season than in the dry season indicate runoff water inflitration.
Consequently, the waters show slight turbidity for one to two hours
after rainfall due to settleable solids, a factor which renders the
wells liable to chemical and bacterial contamination from surface
sources. There is therefore a need for a design of drinking water wells
in Akure to include making the wells deeper, at least 6 metres deep, and
incorporating watertight lining of the upper part.
