Short summary
The quality of drinking water is dependent of its source(s) and means of collection. The water available for drinking in the study area accessible through groundwater exploration was assessed to determine its quality and checked by the World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water standards for the various parameters considered. Physico-chemical parameter and bacteriological tests were carried out on selected borehole sites following due procedure, precautions and the results analyzed.
