INTRODUCTION Studies have shown that global human population and urban development are increasing at

unprecedented rates, thereby creating havoc to the surface water quality (Mustapha and Getso, 2014). Researchers such as Huang et al., (2013) revealed that there is a close relationship between land use type and water quality while studies such as Yon and Chen (2002) and Bai et al., (2010) Corresponding Author

reported that changes in the land cover and land management practices have been regarded as the key influencing factors behind the alteration of the hydrological system, which lead to the change in runoff as well as the water quality. Wang et al., (1999) defined water quality as the physical, chemical and biological status of the water body. The abundance and diversity of biota in a water body is dependent on the chemical and physical characteristics. The quality of surface water can be severely altered by land use within and outside the catchment (Wang, 2001; Johnson and Richardson, 1995). The rapid urbanization, industrialization, intensive agriculture and growing demand for energy have adversely affected the physiochemical parameters of surface water (Avtar et al., 2011; Faniran et al., 1994; Herman, 2009, 2010), although the effects can vary with development. In Nigeria and many developing countries, where sanitation is known to be poor and the riparian ecosystem are rarely protected, the effects of unplanned land use are severe (Okeke et al., 1999; Ogwumike, 2002; Wallace et al., 2003). Researchers such as Faniran et al (1994) and Awadallah and Yousry (2012) reported that the quality of surface water within a region is governed by anthropogenic activities and natural processes. Therefore, the possible variability in water quality may be due to anthropogenic activities and natural variance during seasons due to various biochemical or chemical processes (Awadallah and Yousry, 2012). For instance, mining and smelting operation, disposal of treated and untreated waste effluents as well as metal chelate from different industries, including leather, petrochemical, and battery production, along with indiscriminate use of heavy metals containing fertilizers and pesticides in agricultural practices are example from long list of anthropogenic influence of surface water pollution (Sheykhi and Moore, 2012). Therefore, Klocking and Haberlandt (2002) were of the opinion that it is necessary to understand consequences of human activity on water cycle and environment at all relevant scales. According to Ojima and Galvin (1994) the impact of humans on the environment has increased over the past several years. Therefore, as the demand for water increases there is an associated escalation in effluent discharge, which has a negative impact on the water quality (Gyau-Boakye, 1999).

Physical changes in land use / land cover and population density within a river’s watershed usually have an impact on the hydrology and water quality of the river. This give credence to the findings of the Institute of Water Resources (IWR) (1997), which reported that various landuse types can potentially introduce pollutants into aquatic ecosystem and these landuse types are associated with human activities and physical characteristics that affect water quality. According to Faniranet et al., (1994) the major proportion of all water quality degradation worldwide is due to anthropogenic causes. Rogers (2000) identified four major direct impacts of land use on the hydrologic cycle which are flood and flood potential, drought, changes in river and groundwater regimes and water quality in an area. There is an increasing need to protect the quality of Nigeria’s water resources from degradation due to pollution, which interferes with the water uses at any scale. As a matter of facts, the availability of adequate water in terms of quality and quantity is essential to human existence. That is the reason why Guo et al (2009) indicated that it is necessary to take in to account both land use and the land cover pattern simultaneously in the study of the impacts of land use on the water quality.

In Nigeria, water and their resources are abundant and renewable but their continued usefulness is dependent on the responsible usage of these resilient but fragile ecosystems (Ajayi and Osibanjo, 1981). Rivers are used as site for the disposal of refuse, human sewage, and waste water from kitchens, abattoirs and industries. According to Vittori et al., (2010) water pollution can directly linked to the type of waste water produced by urban, industrial and agricultural activities that flows in to the surface water. Mombersbora et al., (1981) and Egborge (1991) reported that streams and rivers running though areas of significant human influence such as farms, cities and industrial locations are prone to pollution, especially in Nigeria where environmental protection regulations are not strictly enforced. Freshwater reservoirs are the most affected of all the water bodies. And the resultant effects of this on public health and the environment are usually great in magnitude. These include endangering of aquatic resources and other commercially important marine flora and fauna. Adesina (1986), Frontiers (1996), and

Brown et al., (2008) revealed that the outbreaks of water-borne diseases like cholera, hepatitis, gastro-enteritis etc., are possible health effects of polluted water. Recently, epidemics of cholera have been reported from different parts of India, Nigeria and Zimbabwe and the outbreaks of typhoid fevers and dysentery were linked to unsanitary mixing of some water supplies and sewage. World Health Organization (WHO) (2003) reported that 80% of sickness and death among children in the world are caused by unsafe drinking water. Therefore, the thrust of this paper is to assess the quality of surface water traversing the various land use types in a typical urban centre in the southwestern Nigeria.

MATERIALS AND METHODS STUDY AREA The Ibadan metropolis (figure 1) is located in the southwestern Nigeria between latitude 70

201 N and 70 281 N and longitude 30 501 and 30 571 E.

The Ibadan metropolis has a total surface of 240 km² and an average height of 200 m above sea level surrounded by secondary forest as well as savannah. The choice of Ibadan metropolis was as a result of its nature, that is, it is dissected by rivers, the largest urban centre in Africa south of the Sahara and the third most populous city in Nigeria (Areola, 1994). It has a population of about 2 555 593 people (National Population Commission, 2006) predominantly cosmopolitan in nature, comprising of Yorubas, Ibos, Hausas, Ibibios, Edos, Ijaws and a small non-African population like the Indians, Lebanese and the Syrians. The study sites where the surface water samples were collected are the Ogunpa, Ona, Kudeti and Odo-oba river systems (figure 2). The Ogunpa river system is a third order stream with a channel length of 21.5 km with 73.3 km² area draining the densely populated eastern part of the metropolis. The basin is covered mainly by ferruginous tropical soil on basement complex rock (Areola, 1978). The Ona river has a length of 55 km and area of 81 km² draining the low density western part of Ibadan. Kudeti River is a tributary of Ogunpa River and its flows through the densely populated areas of the ancient city of Ibadan while Odo-oba River flows through sparsely populated areas of Moniya in Akinyele local government area.

METHODOLOGY Both primary and secondary data were used for this study. In order to determine the effects

of land use types on surface water quality, samples sites were selected to ensure that it reflected the impacts of land use types in the immediate vicinity. Therefore, water samples are collected from river Ogunpa that traverses commercial areas; Ona River that traverses industrial areas; Odo-Oba River that traverses agricultural areas and Kudeti River that traverses residential areas. A total of twenty samples were collected, that is, five samples each from each stream that traverse the various land use types. These samples were collected during 3 weeks. The water samples collected were kept away from heat from the point of collection and transported in cooler containing ice packs to the laboratory. This was done in other to minimize room for change in volatile parameters in the course of transporting the samples to the laboratory for analysis. The geographical coordinates of the sample points were also taken into consideration using hand held GPS Garmin 76S. The samples were analysed for temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), total solids, total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), chloride, nitrates and sulphate. Temperature which has extremely low stability was determined on the field with portable mercury thermometer. pH, electrical conductivity and dissolved oxygen were determined immediately on getting to the laboratory using portable meters. Standard laboratory procedures were adopted for the surface water samples analysis. All analysis was carried out at the Chemistry Department, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria and Nigerian Institute of Science Laboratory Technology, Ibadan, Nigeria. Various statistical methods were used to analyse the data obtained in this study. The means and standard deviation were used to summarise the results of the analysis using Excel Package of Microsoft office and SPSS Package.

The effects of land use types on the surface water quality of the selected rivers in Ibadan Metropolis were determined by running a simple linear regression analysis on the mean values of parameters tested in the water samples as against the World Health Organization (WHO) standard values for water quality. Differences in the observed patterns and concentration of water quality parameters within the various land use types were determined using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION LAND USE IMPACTS ON SURFACE WATER QUALITY Table 1 showed the descriptive analysis of land use and surface water quality parameters in

the study area and this was transformed graphical for in-depth analysis (figure 2). As showed in figure 2, the minimum and maximum temperature observed in surface water in agricultural land use was 260 C to 280 C with a mean of 26.60 C, in residential land use it was 250 C - 280 C with a

mean value of 26.80 C, in commercial it was 260 C-270 C with a mean of 26.40 C and in industrial land use it was 260 C-280 C with a mean value of 27.20 C. The temperature values across the different land use were quite similar to those reported in similar tropical environments by researcher, such as Jajiet al., (2007). This implies that there was no pronounced impact of land use on the surface waterquality in terms of temperature in the study area. The Table also revealed the minimum and maximum pH levels for each river flowing through different land use patterns in the study area. For River Odooba flowing through agricultural land use the pH value was 6.8-7.3 with a mean of 7.0. Thiswas within the WHO standard value of 6.5 and 8.5. River Kudeti flowing through residential areas was 6.9- 7.1 pH value with a mean of 6.9 pH value within WHO standard. Ogunpa flowing through commercial land use had pH levels of 7.9- 8.4 and a mean of 7.9, while in Ona flowing through industrial areas had a pH value of 7.9-13.8 and a mean pH value of 9.3 which happens to be well above WHO standard. It can be inferred that the different landuse in the study area impacted surface water quality in varying degrees with regards to pH. In terms of dissolved oxygen (DO) as it evident from the table, Rivers Odooba and Kudeti flowing through agricultural and residential land use respectively had DO values that is below the WHO standard while River Ogunpa flowing through commercial land use had a value that is in line or tandem with WHO’s value but River Ona flowing through industrial land use impacts the least on the surface water quality with regards to dissolved oxygen. It is also evident from the table 1 that Rivers Odooba and Kudeti flowing through agricultural and residential land use had their. Total Dissolved Oxygen value (130 mg/1-150 mg/1:330 mg/1-410 mg/1) below the WHO standard while rivers Ogunpa and Ona had their TDS values (250 mg/1-350 mg/1; 100 mg/1-320 mg/1) respectively to be in line with WHO standards.

Figure 2 also revealed the range of conductivity level of each river flowing through different land use pattern. For instance, River Odoobathat flow through agricultural landusehad a conductivity level of 78-90µScm-1 and a mean 84.00µScm-1; Kudeti flowing through residential areas had conductivity levels ranging between 198-246µScm-1 and a mean of 224.4µScm-1; Ogunpa flowing through commercial land use had a conductivity levels of 219-393µScm-1 and a mean of 318µScm-1, while Ona flowing through industrial areas had 121-12947µScm-1 and a mean of 2691.20µScm-1 happens to be above WHO standard. It can be inferred from the findings that the different land use impacts in varying degrees to surface water quality in the study area. However industrial land use impacts the most on surface water quality with regards to conductivity. But agricultural land use impacts the least on surface water quality with regards to TDS. From the Table Total Suspended Solids (TSS) impacted the surface water quality the same way TDS does but industrial land use impacted the least while agricultural land use impacted the most in terms of TSS value. Also from table 1 and figure 2, River Kudeti and River Ogupa flowing through residential and commercial land use impacted the quality of surface water most with Total Solids (TS) value ranging between 598mg/1 – 725mg/1 with a mean of 669.80mg/1 and 550mg/1 – 725mg/1 with a mean of 628mg/1 levels which is above the WHO standard with respects to Total Solids. As evident from the table 1 and figure 2, the Chloride levels for the surface water quality in the study area were below the WHO standard for the various form of land use but agricultural land use impacts the least with mean Chloride value of 2.76mg/l while industrial impacts the most with mean Chloride value of 11.89mg/l on the surface water quality with regards to chloride. In case of nitrate levels in the surface water quality in the study area, the levels were below the WHO standards but above the required level for unpolluted water. From figure 2, the industrial land use impacts the least with mean value of 4.03mg/l while the commercial land use impacts the most on the surface water quality with regards to nitrate. Sulphate levels for all the forms of land use in the study area were also below the WHO standards but were still above the required levels for unpolluted water. From the figure, residential land use with mean value of 16.16mg/l of sulphate impacts the most followed by commercial land use with mean value of 14.22mg/l of sulphate while agricultural land use with mean value of 3.81mg/l of sulphate impacts the least on the surface water quality.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LAND USE TYPES AND SURFACE WATER QUALITY Table 2 shows that there is no significant relationship between agricultural land use and

surface water quality as regards world standard. The result shows a correlation coefficient of 0.70, a coefficient of determination of 49% and a significant level of 0.081. It can be inferred that agricultural land use does not impact significantly on water quality parameters tested in the river

flowing through this land use when compared with WHO standard. Although the result may not be felt significantly but studies have shown that, impacts on water quality were highest in agricultural land use (Zangi and Wang, 2011). The insignificant impact of agricultural land use on surface water quality in the study area may be as a result of some factors not taken into consideration which could account for a relationship. As observed during the study, there is little or no intensification of agricultural activities like application of fertilizer.

Table 3 shows a strong significant relationship between residential land use and surface water quality as regards WHO standard. That is,with a correlation coefficient of 0.81, coefficient of determination of 65% at a significant level of 0.028. It can be inferred that residential land use impacts significantly on the surface water quality parameters in the river traversing the land use compared to WHO standard.

Table 4 shows a significant relationship between commercial land use and surface water quality as regards WHO standard. That is, with a correlation coefficient of 0.86, coefficient of determination of 74% at a significant level of 0.013. It can be inferred that commercial land use impacts significantly on the surface water quality parameters in the river traversing the land use compared to WHO standard. This was supported by a study carried out by Adeyemo et al., (2002) that most slaughter houses which characterized commercial areas in Nigeria discharged their wastes directly into the river without prior treatment. High contamination of the surface water might also be attributed to direct defecation into the river coupled with indiscriminate dumping of domestic waste, discharge of abattoir wastes and surface water runoff.It is evident from Table 5 that there is no significant relationship between industrial land use and surface water quality as regards WHO standard. The Table shows a correlation of 0.47, a coefficient of correlation of 22% at a significant level of 0.286 which indicates a weak relationship.

It can be inferred that industrial land use does not impact significantly on the surface water quality parameters analyzed in the river flowing through industrial land use in comparison to WHO standard in the study area. The effects of industrial land use may not be significant on surface water quality in the study area but adequate monitoring of the industrial effluent is necessary to prevent bioaccumulation effects, which may possess adverse effects. Studies have shown that effluents from municipal and industrial activities impair the environment with significant consequence on human health (Chapman, 2006; Eludoyin et al., 2004).

PATTERNS AND CONCENTRATION OF WATER QUALITY PARAMETERS

TRAVERSING VARIOUS LAND USE The observed pattern and concentration of the selected water quality parameters in the

rivers traversing the various land use types identified for the study are shown in table 6. As evident from table 6, there is no significant difference in the observed pattern of temperatures values in the various rivers that traverse the different land use. The result (f=.667, df=3/16, P>0.05) implies that variations in temperature are not accounted for by the various land use types. These were similar to Jaji’s et al., (2007) findings for similar tropical environment.

CONCLUSION The study revealed that various land use types affects surface water quality to some extent.

This confirmed and corroborates other scholars’ findings that different land use types affect surface water quality and thereby making surface water relatively unsafe for domestic purposes. The results has also provided an important scientific reference for the local land use optimization and water pollution control and guidance for the formulation of policies to coordinate the exploitation and protection of the water resource in the study area. There is no doubt that it is

easier to plan for good water management before development takes place rather than retrofitting existing development to reduce water impacts. Therefore, balancing the needs of growth and protection of the environment requires planning and commitment, but it worth the effort because all citizens benefit when clean streams with healthy aquatic life flow in and around their communities.The study suggested that impervious areas should be reduced by incorporating open spaces into urban areas while green belts should be encourage along streams.
