Review of: "Assessment of Quality, Bacterial Population and Diversity of Irrigation Water in Selected Areas of Minna, Niger State, Nigeria"
Résumé
PAPER: Results obtained showed that bacterial population and diversity were significantly affected by location and that all the physical and chemical properties of the irrigation water were significantly affected by location except for chemical oxygen demand (mg/l).COMMENT: Put in one sentence that states all factors were influenced by location.Introduction: PAPER: Most of the sources of water used for irrigation in Nigeria are water that contains contaminants of fecal origin from the sewage system and also contains heavy metals and other pollutants from urbanization, like human activities and washing away of soil from farmlands where fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemicals have been used.In Minna, Nigeria, wastewater flows from different sources into the main drainage channels containing refuse, domestic and industrial waste, which may contaminate water used for irrigation or be a source of energy for heterotrophic nutrition and microbial growth and development.COMMENT: This section needs referencing.PAPER: The water used for irrigation contains microorganisms, which are living organisms that may be single-celled (Madigan and Martinko, 2006) or multicellular.Microorganisms are diverse, and they include bacteria, archaea, and most of the protozoa; the water also contains some species of fungi, algae, and some species of animals like rotifers.COMMENT: This section can be removed.GENERAL COMMENT: This introduction is too general; it's about water needs for the world as well as what bacteria are.The introduction should be more relevant to the paper and the aims of the paper.Focus more on water contamination and the problems associated with it health-wise, and then what bioremediation is and which bacteria can bioremediate which metals, citing proper literature for it.
