“…This is in agreement with findings from previous studies [42,43]. Also, positive correlations were found between hardness, and each of Calcium ion, and Magnesium ion; TDS and Hardness which agrees with results from other studies [42][43][44]. On the other hand, there was a negative correlation between total hardness and nitrate which is quite predictable in light of the fact that the impact of nitrogen-fixing microorganisms diminishes with expanding water hardness [45].…”

Water is an important requirement for life but its contamination via natural and anthropogenic activities is of great concern. This study determined some physicochemical parameters of drinking water from the main source (borehole), and selected storage vessels in Abimbola, Ayedaade Local Government Area, Osun State, Nigeria. About 10 household water samples were collected randomly from the 70 households in the village. The major water storage vessels used by the villagers were clay pots. Only about one-fifth of the households used plastic containers. All the physico-chemical parameters assessed were within permissible limits of the World Health Organization and Standards Organization of Nigeria’s drinking water guidelines except for Lead and nitrite. Furthermore, water stored in clay pots had significantly higher levels of Nitrate (p=0.04), Nitrite (p=0.04), Sulphate (p=0.04), Lead (p=0.03), Iron (p=0.04), and Manganese (p=0.04) than those stored in plastic containers. Results suggest that the type of storage vessels used could influence the physicochemical quality of the water stored in them. Also, basic water quality monitoring needs to be conducted routinely to ascertain and maintain high quality water supply per time.

“…Ojekunle Z.O. et al [19] reported a mean pH range of 5.88 -6.26, between wet and dry seasons in underground water within the industrial areas in Ogun State, which compared very well with the mean pH values obtained in the studied water samples at sampling distances of 3 and 6 m respectively from sanitary pits.…”

Studies were carried out to evaluate the effect of distance of sanitary pits on the physicochemical properties of hand-dug well water samples consumed by people living in Akwuke community, Enugu South Local Government Area of Enugu State, using standard analytical procedures and instrumentation. The mean range of pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, nitrate and sulphate in the well water samples at the determined sampling distances of 3, 6 and 10 m from the sanitary pits were 5.9 -7.24, 1.92 -6.63 NTU, 122.03 -303.91 µs/cm, 100.00 -261.90 mg/L, 1.21 -4.68 mg/L and 28.89 -49/61 mg/L respectively. The investigated mean physicochemical parameters of the well water samples were generally observed to increase with decrease in the distance of the well water samples from the sanitary pits. The levels of the determined physicochemical parameter of the well water samples at sampling distances of 3, 6, and 10 m respectively from the sanitary pits were statistically significant. The mean pH values of the well water samples at sampling distances of 3 and 6 m respectively from the sanitary pits were below the WHO recommended threshold limits for safe drinking water. Additionally, the mean values of turbidity and total dissolved solids of the well water samples at a sampling distance of 3 m from the sanitary pits were above the WHO permissible limits. The pH, turbidity and total dissolved solids are How to cite this paper: Ezeh, E.

“…The pH levels in the samples are also within the WHO (2011), European Community (EPA, 2010), and Normal Organization of Nigeria ( 2007) water limits of pH 6 and 9 (bathing water) and 6.5-9.5 (drinking water). The pH values were higher than those recorded by Bisht et al, (2015) in India (5.92), Zhou et al, (2015) in China (3.3), Park and Yang (2021) in South Korea (4.3-5), and Ojekunle et al, (2020) in Nigeria (4.35), which may be due to alkaline species dominance. The pH values in the study are within the ranges of 6.14-7.50 reported by Saana et al (2016) and6.35-8.31 (Popoola et al, 2019) for Ghanaian and Nigerian water, respectively, but less than 7.61-8.34 reported for Indian water (Annapoorna and Janardhana, 2015).…”

The quality of well-dug water for drinking and irrigation purposes must be measured as part of a sustainable groundwater analysis. The study aimed to assess water quality and to evaluate their usefulness for drinking and irrigation, using the Drinking Water Quality Index (DWQI) and Irrigation Water Quality Index (IWQI). To achieve this, standard methods were used for the determination of physicochemical parameters of the water samples, while using models (ESP, SSP, SAR, MAR, KR, TDS, and EC) to ascertain their suitability for drinking and irrigation. According to the findings, the determined Physico-chemical parameters were compared to standard limits and found desirable because they were within the guidelines. Low pH (6.4-7), total dissolved solids (106–130 mg/L), total hardness (42–56 mg/L), calcium (3.5–8.3 mg/L), magnesium (1.13.6 mg/L), nitrate (4.6–16 mg/L), chloride (1.8–3.1), and sulphate (14–15. mg/L) in the well samples were found to be the key cause of the low DWQI and IWQI value at these sites. The results also depicted that all the water samples are of exceptional quality (excellent).
