Hydrochemical Characterization of Groundwater in the Sub-Prefecture of Kokumbo (Ivory Coast)

In the Kokumbo sub-prefecture, groundwater extraction related to gold panning remains a major concern, not mention deterioration of its quality. Among work carried out on water resources, no scientific interest has been shown in characterise it. The objective this study is contribute knowledge physico-chemical situ measurements and analyses using an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) were five (5) human-powered pump (HPP) samples six (6) well collected during low high seasons. results show that quality water, which sometimes turbid, satisfactory terms mineralization borehole pH boreholes, while temperatures two waters wells do comply with WHO standards. levels ions are recommended for consumption. classified as predominantly bicarbonate-calcium magnesium (73%) dry season flood season, equal split between (45.5%) chloride-calcium (45.5%). elimination materials responsible turbidity certain by managers or populations essential drinking use. risk linked element means these turbid water.
