To assess groundwater quality with a focus on the concentration levels of geogenic contaminants around the Lake Victoria goldfields in Geita and Mara districts.
With geogenic contamination of groundwater frequently associated with gold mining activities and related to drinking water quality problems worldwide, elevated levels of trace elements (TEs) have been reported in drinking water sources within Tanzania's Lake Victoria Basin, posing a serious health risk to communities. Therefore, the study purposed to assess the groundwater quality with a focus on the concentration levels of geogenic contaminants in groundwater around the Lake Victoria goldfields in Geita and Mara districts.
HTML tables with summaries on water parameters used to calculate CCME-WQI, including pH, alkalinity etc., physiochemical parameters, major ions and trace elements, Plots showing correlation between arsenic and other redox-sensitive elements
Data were collected from testing water samples from community drinking water sources and analyzing them for physiochemical parameters, major ions and trace elements.
