The researchers assessed the water quality of Obuburu River in Okene, Nigeria. They tested 36 water samples for various parameters like pH, turbidity, and heavy metals. The water was found to be hard with high chloride levels. Levels of cadmium and lead exceeded safe drinking water limits, while zinc levels were also concerning. The water is likely not safe for drinking or cooking due to these findings.
