Application of Geographic Information System (GIS)in Mapping Groundwater Quality in Uyo, Nigeria英文文献资料

International Journal of Geosciences, 2011, 2, 394-397 doi:10.4236/ijg.2011.24042 Published Online November 2011 (http://www.SciRP.org/journal/ijg) Application of Geographic Information System (GIS) in Mapping Groundwater Quality in Uyo, Nigeria Magnus Uzoma Igboekwe , Akaninyene Okon Akankpo * Department of Physics, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture,Umudike, Abia State, Nigeria E-mail: Received June 2, 2011; revised August 17, 2011; accepted September 24, 2011 * igboekwemu@ Abstract In recent years there has been serious concern on the deteriorating groundwater quality due to the activities of man. Geographic Information System (GIS), a high performance computer based tool is playing a critical role in water resource management and pollution study. In this work, the GIS software was used to analyze the effects of various data layers (topographic slope, groundwater table variation, soil porosity and land use activities) on the distribution of groundwater pollution in the Nigerian city of Uyo. Spatial variability map of different groundwater quality parameters were generated using interpolation operation in the software. A good correlation exists between some of the pollution indicators (total dissolved solids, TDS and conducti- vity, CN, 0.8; chloride and TDS, 0.17 as well as TDS and sulphate, 0.23). The results of spatial variability maps of different groundwater quality parameters indicate an increase in the percentages of pollution levels during the last five years. Cross operation was also used to explain the effects of various data layers viz. to- pographic slope, groundwater slope, depth to groundwater layer and land use activities on the distribution of groundwater pollution.
