Abstract :

Worldwide, 667 million people lack access to portable municipal water, with almost half of those people living in sub-Saharan Africa (WHO, 2013). Population health is impacted by an inadequate water supply both directly and indirectly, which can result in illnesses such diarrhea and those linked to poor personal cleanliness (Hunter et al., 2010). The main goal of drinking water monitoring is to guarantee that it is safe to consume, safeguarding community health and halting the development of illnesses that are transmitted via the water. The World Health Organization's (WHO) and the Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) standards are frequently used to evaluate and compare the quality of subterranean water. This study examines factors in comparison to WHO and NSDWQ criteria with a focus on Federal Polytechnic Daura's subsurface water quality evaluation. The results show notable variations in bacteriological counts and physicochemical properties between the several school sample locations. Government officials and interested parties must move quickly to provide water filtration solutions in order to protect public health and safety. Key words: water quality, physicochemical parameters, bacteriological amount.
