Abstract
Globalization and population growth in urban
area, along with wild expansion of agricultural
and industrial activities had led to the increase in
the generation of waste water which ultimately
reaches the aquatic environment and thereby
impacting the entire food chain of the system
(Akpor et al., 2014). The untreated waste water
which is released to the natural water bodies
accounts to around 60% of that produced, which
is highly alarming.
