چکیده انگلیسی
Potchefstroom and the neighbouring cities rely mostly on the Mooi River and Vaal River for their water needs. These rivers flow through the gold mining areas and farms, and are therefore likely to be contaminated with substantial amounts of inorganic pollutants. Water was collected along the rivers network, streams, canals and dams in Potchefstroom and the vicinity. The samples were characterized for geochemical parameters, metals and anions concentrations. The results showed high concentrations of potentially toxic elements such as As (4.53Â mg/L - 5.74Â mg/L), Cd (0.25Â mg/L - 0.7Â mg/L), Pb (1.14Â mg/L - 5.13Â mg/L) and U (0.04Â mg/L - 0.11Â mg/L) which were predominantly found around the mining areas. Elevated concentrations of anions such SO42- and CNâ were detected around mining areas while NO3â was dominant near farms. The relatively high levels of anions and metals in the surface water made it unfit for domestic or agricultural use. The study showed that contaminants in mining and agricultural facilities were potentially mobilised, thus impacting the nearby water systems.
