Abstract

Assessment of some physicochemical properties and raw water of Challawa Textile Industry Kano,
State, Nigeria revealed that some of the effluents are highly impacted at the discharge point than
the upstream and downstream; for instance, the pH, 11.14mg/l, total solids (TS), 520mg/l and total
dissolved solids (TDS), 500mg/l but restored to normal downstream to 7.15, 170mg/l, 40mg/l
respectively. However, the chromium (Cr), 0.74ppm copper (Cu) 0.43ppm and zinc (Zn) 6.33ppm
contents of water from the effluents recipient river were greatly increased to levels much higher
than are considered safe to the environment and human health
