本文评估了加纳Tamale大都会用于蔬菜灌溉的水质。本研究采用混合研究设计的方法，在调查工具的基础上收集和分析数据。研究发现，在所有采集的水样中均存在通常作为水质污染指标的大肠杆菌（E. coli）和重金属。氨、硝酸盐、亚硝酸盐和磷酸盐等营养物质的平均浓度分别为：氨0.022 ~ 5.98 mg/l、硝酸盐1.06 ~ 7.52 mg/l、硝酸盐0.031 ~ 0.056 mg/l、磷酸盐0.037 ~ 0.069 mg/l。Sanghani、Kamina和Waterworks的大肠杆菌和总大肠菌群水平分别为3.2 × 103 CFU 100 m/l和5.5 × 102 CFU 100 m/l， 4.0 × 103 CFU 100 m/l和1 × 102 CFU 100 m/l， 2.1 × 103 CFU 100 m/l和4.6 × 102 CFU 100 m/l。综上所述，根据测量的参数，Tamale大都市区用于灌溉的水受到污染，可能造成潜在的健康风险。因此，农民、商人和消费者需要采取进一步的安全措施，确保蔬菜安全。
This paper assesses water quality that is used for vegetable irrigation in Tamale Metropolis, Ghana. A mixed-method of research design was employed in this study to collect and analyze the data based on survey instruments. The paper found that Escherichia coli (E. coli) that is usually used as an indicator of water contamination and heavy metals exist in all taken water samples. The mean concentrations of nutrients such as ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and phosphate were recorded as 0.022 mg/l to 5.98 mg/l for ammonia, 1.06 mg/l to 7.52 mg/l for nitrate, 0.031 mg/l to 0.056 mg/l for nitrate and 0.037 mg/l to 0.069 mg/l for phosphate. E. coli and Total Coliforms levels for Sanghani, Kamina and Waterworks from the laboratory analysis were recorded as 3.2 × 103 CFU 100 m/l and 5.5 × 102 CFU 100 m/l, 4.0 × 103 CFU 100 m/l and 1 × 102 CFU 100 m/l, and 2.1 × 103 CFU 100 m/l and 4.6 × 102 CFU 100 m/l respectively. To conclude, based on the measured parameters, water used for irrigation in the Tamale Metropolitan is polluted and may cause potential health risks. Therefore, farmers, traders and consumers need to apply further safety measures to make the vegetables safe.
