INCREASE NITRATE AND TOXICITY IN GROUND DRINKING WATER RESOURCES IN DARFUR-SUDAN
Abstract
This
presentation is aim to explain the increase nitrate and toxicity in ground
drinking water resources in Darfur-SUDAN
Darfur is a
region in western Sudan, in 2008, Darfur's population was 7.5million. This is
an increase by nearly six times from 1973 (1.3 million). 52% are aged 16 years
or younger. Water supplying is providing by very old water net Works some of
them which was built in 1960.
Water is given
daily for 2-3 hours from the water supplying net work, while at other times the
water can not be given.
About 60% of the
population water needs are supplied from wells operated by private ventures,
while the remaining portion is estimated to be covered by individual water pump
located on their property.
For biological
and chemical analysis of the water, supplies and trained staff in the
established laboratory is in adequate.
Water network
and control of private individual wells can not be made. Almost there is no
informative and educational work for community about water health in the
region.
There are high
concentrations of nitrates proportion in drinking water sources, which all the
existing resources of water are ground water resources.
According to the
WHO standards nitrate quantity must be below than 50 mg\L, and comparing with
the Water Quality Guidelines for Turkeys it must be 25 mg\L but in Darfur Area
– SUDAN it is over 58 mg\L in the drinking water analysis.
Increase the
concentration of nitrates led to the appearance of some diseases related to
toxicology in water.
As a result of
the lack of water distribution system, waters to rage ways helps to increase or
not to decrease the concentration of nitrate in drinking water. Where drinking
is often storage in metal, plastic or claycontainers.
