INTRODUCTION
In definition the process of package water production and its hygienic practices. we must know what is water itself. water is a universal solvent, compound which contain two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen chemically combined in the ratio 2.1.water is basis of life as mans body needs it to carryout it function if the body organ should give health to man.it also aids internal body fluid comportment, a smaller percentage of the body weight of the adult female consist of water because female generally have a greater percentage of body fat than males. water and ion dissolved in it are distributed in two major compartment.
Water and lons move between those compartments, but their movement is regulated. Thirst water intake is controlled by nervous in the hypothalamus, collectively collectively called the thirst centre. when concentration of blood increase the thirst centre respond by initiating the sensation of thirst also decreased.
When blood pressure decrease,such as drinking shock,the thirst centre is activated,and the sensation of thirst is triggered,consumption of water increase,the blood volume and allows the blood pressure to increase to ward. We shall be talking a look at the process of package water production and it’s hygienic practices for human consumption.
1.2 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF LOKOJA
The birth of our histories and ancient town lokoja was traced back as far in 1860.
Now one all ask what is lokoja and how did it come to exist
The answer to these two question are not at all easy to give,I will make altempt to give them.from record of history written and oral the name lokoja (like the name of many town or vill age in Nigeria or even other countries of the world is said to be derived from at least three (3)phenomenon object circumstances or reason in the Nigerian language or tribes of Nigeria.
They are
1.known Nigeria bird (duck)called the nupe,lukongi
2. known Nigeria tree called loko in hausa and
3. known Nigeria word or sentence and in Yoruba which is ilukojo.
When one look thoughtfully or critically one see and understands that if lokoja a dervice it name from nupe and lokongi,it mean before the twon was founded there are many lokongi around flying over the called lokoja and perhaps this accound for the reason why nupe called the town lukogia and not lokoja the next question is how did it come to exist there we must be very careful as to answer are given for when one take, if lokoja and it’s founder, one must know that lokoja come into existence in different period namely.
The Lokoja was not called Lokoja by then but model farm founded in 1841 and has it dimension as 16 miles (253/5kilometer)going down south by the combined flow of the majestic Nigeria and calmful Benue river and spreading in law and 4 miles.(62/5 kilometer)going west.
