of the high levels of human activity along its banks and surrounding areas. Industries along the river may be discharging harmful chemicals and waste directly into the water, leading to pollution. Additionally, agriculture runoff, improper waste disposal, and urban development can all contribute to the pollution of the Ije river. Lack of proper waste management and enforcement of environmental regulations can further exacerbate the problem. These factors combined can lead to degradation of water quality, harm aquatic life, and negatively impact the health of surrounding communities who rely on the river for drinking water and other uses.
