Abstract

This article present data on reverse osmosis (RO) and ultra-violet (UV) Radiation Water Treatment Techniques effects on the physiochemical properties of a treated surface wa- ter (SW) and borehole water (BHW). The water treatment study which was carried out in Omoku community in River State, lies with latitude 5 °13 ¹N and 5 °22 ¹N and longitude 6 °33 ¹E and 6 °42 ¹North West of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, an area with over Nine hundred oil wells with over thirteen active oil fields and playing host to three multina- tional companies, due to these activities the water is highly contaminated and causing serious health challenges to the water consumer. Therefore, this research work focus on RO and UV water techniques by applying the physicochemical characteristics method and total Coliform count, with the mechanism to check the influence of both techniques on the pH, temperature, Turbidity, conductivity, Total suspended solids Total dissolved solids of the water for three different samples within the Omoku community. The experiment shows that RO treatment technique produces potable water with reduced mineral content in comparison to the UV treatment.
