Quality of Well Water Used for Market Gardening from Lendeng Area Located in Common of Rufisque (Senegal)

Abstract

This study analysis was conducted to know the quality of well water around the market gardening area of Lendeng located in the common of Rufisque Est (Senegal). In this study, six groundwater samples were taken near the Lendeng market gardening area. The physicochemical parameters of water such as pH, temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), calcium (Ca 2+ ), magnesium (Mg 2+ ), potassium (K + ), iron (Fe 2+ ), chloride (Cl − ), sulfate ( 34 SO − ) and phosphate ( 34 PO − ) were measured. The analysis results obtained show sulphate and phosphate have the highest levels. These results were compared to drinking water standards from the World Health Organization (WHO). The correlation coefficient ANOVA was applied to the test result of the samples. The statistical study showed that the well water in the market gardening area of Lendeng is not polluted.
