An assessment of the underground water collected from Ogbete Area Enugu State, Nigeria

Water contamination has become a global challenge which must be tackled. This study examined the level of water in four locations at Ogbete area Enugu state. Carters street had highest pH 5.23 is below WHO standards limits for drinking water. The conductivities ranged from conductivity 1445 µs/cm, (8-10,000 µs/cm), TDS (1000 mg/l., TSS (WHO (500 mg/l). For alkalinity, were all (150 mg/l) standard set by World Health Organisation. Results showed that most physicochemical, biological and heavy metals parameters considered this significantly above permissible or allowed WHO. It therefore recommended should treated before use.
