The values of electrical conductivities obtained from all the surface water samples range from 90 to
100.2mmhos/cm with a mean value of 156.26mmhos/cm (Table 2). This value is below the critical water
conductivity of 3,000mmhos/cm (Gupta et al., 1998). This indicates that the water sources are not expected
to have any salinity problems as the electrical conductivity gives good indication of the extent of the dissolved salts
