Abstract

Geochemical study on groundwater quality was undertaken from Bayankara, Badariya and Old Town areas in Birnin Kebbi, situated in sedimentary basin, northwestern Nigeria. The hydrogeochemical study was carried out on 30 water samples, 10 from each of the 3 locations with the intent to determining the quality of the water sources such as tap water, borehole, and hand-dug well used for drinking and domestic purposes; to determine the causes, sources of the pollutants and suggest solutions towards solving the problem. The 30 water samples were analyzed for major elements and important anions. Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS) was used to analyze the cations while NO 3 -, PO 4 3and SO 4 2were determined using Spectrophotometer. Both F -and Cl -were determined by titration method.
