Uchè Amonẹ
[nwọ́che | nwó étéwn che]Human activity in the Great Kwa basin has traditionally been limited to small scale farming, aquaculture and artisanal fisheries, mainly for shrimp.[4] However, Calabar is growing, due in part to the Calabar Free Trade Zone, causing growing numbers of houses and factories to be built in the freshwater and mangrove swamps of the Great Kwa.[3] The University of Calabar covers a Éwn malábó:Convert site between the Great Kwa River and the Calabar River. The university has acquired more land on both banks of the Great Kwa for future development.[5]
Pollution
[nwọ́che | nwó étéwn che]Calabar Municipality has no waste treatment facilities, and heavy rains wash human and industrial wastes into the river.[3]A 2008 study of Vibrio bacteria in shellfish in the Great Kwa River estuary showed that the water was constantly faecally polluted, and the shellfish had high levels of infection. This posed a health risk for consumer, including a risk of cholera epidemics.[6]
