Hydrochemical characteristics of Djirwal groundwater in Burkina Faso
- Research Journal of Chemical Sciences , 8 (3) : 1-10
Résumé
Humanity is increasingly facing the issues related to the availability of water in quantity and quality. Its poor quality is source of many diseases. Burkina Faso is not exempted from these difficulties given its demographic outgrowth. This work aims to check physical and chemical parameters of wells and boreholes water of the village of Djirwal located in the Haut Bassin region in Burkina Faso. Various techniques were used to determine the pH, the temperature, the electrical conductivity (Ec), the turbidity, the hydrometric titration, the various cations and anions like calcium (Ca) Magnesium (Mg2+), iron, nitrates (NO3-), and orthophosphates (PO43-) above the accepted values with contents reaching 5.97mg/l compare to the wells with contents reaching up to 77 and 38mg/l respectively. In sum, the qualities of the wells and some boreholes water were not indicated for human consumption
