Groundwater is the world's most significant natural resource providing water for different purposes, including drinking, domestic, industrial and irrigational. However, polluted groundwater may endanger human survival. This research evaluated status of pollution caused by some heavy metals in parts Nasarawa local government area Kano State. 15 samples were collected from functional boreholes area. Heavy concentrations include Zn, Mn, Cr, Mg, Cd, Fe, Cu, Pb compared with World Health Organization Nigerian Standard Drinking Water Quality to establish their suitability consumption. Descriptive statistics was employed summarize analyzed data. Metal index used determine groundwater. The result revealed that Mn mean value (0.090, 0.160, 0.191 0.11) found within stipulated limit set WHO (3.0, 0.3, 2.0 0.5) NSDWQ 0.5-50, 1.0 0.2), while Pb, Mg (0.105, 0.127, 0.206 0.82) exceeded permissible limits recommended (0.01, 0.003, 0.05 0.5). A high concentration be attributed anthropogenic influences possibly deriving improper municipal Bampai waste disposal. values metal (MI) seriously affected Cd which can pose serious health damage consumers. It constant continuous monitoring Cr made study due its proximity Sharadda sites.

Water quality is imperative for drinking and agriculture purposes in order to meet the increasing requirements water. The systematic assessment of groundwater Nilakkottai Taluk, Dindigul District, Tamil Nadu, was performed. In ascertain study area’s groundwater, various water indices, spatial distribution maps, multivariate statistical analysis, hydrofacies diagrams have been contemplated. 40 samples were collected analysed 20 parameters, using standard techniques. results irrigation analysis showed that satisfactory agricultural use. deduction four principal components denotes hydrogeochemical processes anthropogenic inputs main controlling factors. durov plot demonstrated dominance Ca-HCO3 type indicating a weathering process through fresh recharge. This insisted majority crop yield need be protected from further contamination.
