Increase in poultry farm settlement has led to high production of poultry products and byproduct as a result, much wastes are generated. This study was carried out to model and optimized water qualities of shallow wells of poultry farms in Asa and Ilorin South Local Governments of Kwara State, Nigeria as affected by pollution from poultry wastes. Variables such as distance from the dumpsite to the well (D), year of existence of the farm (Y), number of birds per farm (N) and hydraulic conductivity of soil of the area (H) were considered as input parameters in the development of the model. Output parameters investigated include; pH, turbidity, nitrate, phosphate, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Faecal coliform (FC). Eight (8) model equations were developed, checked for adequacy and validated. All developed model equations were found to present functional relationships between input and output parameters. The result showed that COD have maximum R2 and R2adj of 0.91 and 0.90 while Nitrate have 0.81 and 0.79 as the minimum R2 and R2adj respectively. Thus, all developed equations can be used as a vital tool for estimating, predicting and forecasting water quality. Best optimized results were selected and compared with WHO standard. pH (6.70) (Maximized), Turbidity (25.8) (Minimized), Phosphate (0.50) (Minimized), Nitrate (4.30) (Minimized), DO (11.90) (Minimized), BOD (2.30) (Minimized), COD (15.80) (Minimized), FC (0.01) (Minimized). Both Turbidity and FC were found to exceed WHO and FEPA maximum limit. Thus, proper treatment is needed in consumption of the water to prevent serious health effects.
