Abstract

The physico-chemical water quality of the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching and Research Farm Lake, Ile-Ife, Nigeria, was studied over an annual cycle (September 2006 to August 2007) almost 40 years after its impoundment in 1967. This was with a view to obtaining the then current state of physico-chemical water quality parameters with their variations in time and space as well as using some of the data obtained to evaluate the aging process of the lake for the 40 years of its existence. There was no significant (p > 0.05) horizontal variation (i.e. upstream - dowstream) in the physico-chemical characteristics of the lake whereas, Apparent-colour, True colour, Turbidity, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Solids (TS) and Total Acidity increased significantly (p
