Assessment of Ground Water Quality (A Case Study of Mando, Igabi Local Government Area, Kaduna..

This study examines the quality of ground water in the Mando area of Kaduna State's Igabi Local Government Area. A total of twenty (20) water samples were obtained at random from various locations in the study area (ten (10) bore-hole water samples and ten (10) hand drilled well water samples). Except for the heavy metals research, which was done at the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in Kaduna State, these samples were analysed at the National Water Resources Institute Kaduna's Water Quality Laboratory.For both types of water samples, the study revealed variations in the average degree of physiochemical and bacteria concentration. However, this disparity in concentration is still within the allowable limit of both the World Health Organization (W.H.O) and the National Standards for Drinking Water Quality(NSDWQ) standards for water quality, making it acceptable. Heavy metal concentrations such as lead and chromium are the same in both samples in the study area, which areabove WHO and NSDWQ levels.For both types of samples, the average degree of physiochemical and bacteria concentration is as follows: for bore-hole water sample:

Electrical Conductivity is 109.56 Ms/cm, Turbidity is 0.07 NTU, Total Dissolved Solid is 54.5 ppm, Temperature is 25.2°C, Color is 8.6 TCU, Ph is 6.4, Total alkalinity is 51.3, Nitrate is 25.72, Chloride is 22, Total Hardness is 39.52, Salinity is 35.8, Fluoride is 0.53, Iron is 0.012, Sulphate is 3.6,
