Spatial variation of heavy metals in OdiokItam and IbiakuUruan rivers were investigated in the months of January, June, and December 2013. The heavy metals concentrations were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrometry. The following range of values was obtained for the various heavy metals. Iron (Fe) (0.37-1.23 mg/L), copper (Cu)(0.001-0.003 mg/L), zinc (Zn) (0.014-0.55 mg/L) and lead (Pb) (0.004-0.06 mg/L) respectively. The result shows that zinc and copper were within the World Health Organization (WHO) permissible level while iron and lead were slightly above the permissible level.Extreme high values could pose potential health threat to domestic use of the water and also make the water unfit for organism that live in it.
