The main environmental risk of the floricultural production is associated with the extensivernuse of pesticides and herbicides and the fate of their residues in the soil and water. Anrnintensive use of agrochemicals is taking place in a context of weak and un-harmonizedrnregulations. Nevertheless, the potential of the residues from the horticulture and floriculturernsystems on surface water resources, particularly Lake Ziway, the freshest water lake; on therntop of that, floriculture industries located at the shore discharging untreated effluent directlyrnin to the lake;rnBoth the small scale and large scale floriculture and horticulture farms lack adequatelyrntrained personnel for appropriate pesticides management and appropriate organization setup.rnMoreover, local communities and producers seem to remain largely unaware of thernadvantages of sustainable management of natural resources leads to environmentalrndegradation such as land, water and soil quality degradations. Therefore, this study wasrnproposed with the objective of assessing the impact of floriculture industries on the soil waterrnquality of the area.rnThe necessary data are collected by direct physical site observation and assessing existingrnsituation of the study area and by taking sample from the soil and lake adjacent to the farms.rna total of eight samples were collected, and each has four sampling points; four samplingrnpoints, Eight parameters were analyzed for the water samples (pH, electrical conductivityrn(EC), Nitrate (No3-N), reactive phosphate (PO4), Biological oxygen demand (BOD), andrnchemical oxygen demand (COD), Sulfate (SO4), Total ammonia (T-NH3).in addition to this,rnthe soil samples have been analyzed with five parameters ,( pH, CEC, EC, Phosphorus (P)rnand total Nitrogen (TN)) for the soil SS4 were chosen as a control sample which is relativelyrnfew meters far from the farm effluent.rnThe results showed higher levels of TDS (292 to 1116), EC (507 to 1874), PH (7.97to 7.82),rnCOD (291.2 to348.4) BOD (500 to 900) NO3-(1.09to 12.45) andPO43-(0.09 to 0.57) at thernimpaired sites where the effluent was directly discharged without treatment thernconcentrations also showed a very high increment when compared with the previous studyrnresults. And the same is true for the soils, EC(307to8780),PH,( 6.48to10.53)P(5.02to29),OC,(rn0.41 to7.17) also has a great difference when compared with the control sites. . In addition tornthis, both the soil and water results were also compared with quality guidelines and standards,rnEPA, WHO, FAO to check if the concentrations of these parameters were within thernpermissible limits. The identified environmental impacts are water resource utilization, waterrnand soil quality degradation, and land cover changes
