  Eleyele reservoir is a vital resource for fishery, domestic water supply and flood control. Unfortunately, the reservoir is fast being degraded due to various anthropogenic activities around its catchments. Hence, this study evaluates spatio-temporal variations in the physico-chemical parameters of the reservoir. Eleyele reservoir was stratified into five zones (S1-S5) based on hydrological features and three sampling points were randomly selected per zone. Water samples were collected bi-monthly from each station for 24 months covering wet (May-November) and dry (December-April) seasons. Water parameters were analysed for alkalinity (mg/L), phosphate (mg/L), Dissolved Oxygen (DO, mg/L), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD, mg/L), Chemical Oxygen Demand (BOD, mg/L) and temperature (°C) following standard procedures. Highest and least alkalinity (103.63 ± 14.87; 96.25 ± 11... View More»
