Abstract

This study evaluates the hydro quality of the Benin Geological Formation through physiochemical analysis of aqueous underground reservoir. It also involves the treatment of aqueous resources using air striping technique. The aqueous underground reservoir status was evaluated for its dry and wet session physiochemical characteristics. Minimum, maximum, and mean values for various parameters were used in obtaining the hydro status of the aqueous underground reservoir. Furthermore, the polluted aqueous samples underwent a water treatment process using air striping technique. It was found that air striping application enhanced the hydro quality. The sources of the formation pollution include wastes from domestic and agricultural practices, leachate from waste dumps and sewer tanks.
