• Hydrogeochemical Assessment of Groundwater in Epe (Nigeria) for Drinking and Irrigation Purposes (2026) · African Journal of Environmental Sciences and Renewable Energy · doi

  To safeguard and sustainably manage Epe's vital groundwater resources, the following measures are recommended: 1. Agricultural Management: Farmers should be made aware of the magnesium hazard and encouraged to adopt appropriate soil management practices, such as the application of organic amendments, to mitigate potential soil permeability issues. Infrastructure Planning: For any new water supply or irrigation schemes, the use of corrosion-resistant pipes (e.g., PVC) is essential to prevent pipe degradation and water quality deterioration. 2. 3. Sustained Monitoring: A robust and continuous groundwater quality monitoring program is imperative to track any changes, especially the potential escalation of anthropogenic pollution from agricultural and domestic sources.
