Abstract

Drinking water quality is of fundamental importance to human physiology and the durability of humanity depends very much on it’s availability. The present research was conducted purposely to assess the quality of ground water from areas located around Dala hills. Five samples were collected from Rijiya Biyu (D1), Kantudu (D2), Makwalla (D₃) Kabawa (D₄) and Dala (D₅) for physicochemical analysis. The physico-chemical parameters analyzed are pH, electrical conductivity, temperature, turbidity, colour, odour, total suspended solid (TSS), Suspended solids (SS), Total dissolved solids (TDS), Calcium, magnesium, chloride, Total Hardness, Alkalinity and free CO₂. The result obtained shows that the water studied has a mean value of 1.6 NTU for turbidity, 8.14 for pH, 1512.2 μS/cm for electrical conductivity, 845mg/L for total dissolved solids. Total suspended solids has a mean value of 845mg/L, Suspended solids 0.00mg/L, Temperature 28.2°C, colour 5 Hazen, total hardness 149.96mg/L, alkalinity 51.4mg/L, chloride 31.08mg/L free CO₂ 72mg/L, Calcium 62.37 mg/L and 92.99 mg/L for magnesium. As the result indicated all the physicochemical parameters are within the recommended levels set by World Health Organization (WHO) and Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) except for conductivities at all the samples site, and magnesium at D₁, D₂, and D₃.
