Abstract
In this study, some borehole water samples in Federal Polytechnic Nekede Owerri in Imo State were investigated. Random samples of borehole water samples were collected with distills container after pumping for about 2-5 minutes to collect representative samples from the borehole. These samples were taken to the laboratory for physic-chemical parameter analysis. The parameters tested were water PH, Electrical conductivity, water hardness, turbidity and temperature. Other parameters also tested include calcium, Sodium, Zinc, Magnesium, Phosphate, Nitrate, Iron, Sulphate, Chloride and lead. The results showed that water PH within World Health Organization's permissible standard for drinking water and for other domestic use (6.5 - 8.5).  Other samples tested were in conformity with WHO permissible standard for drinking water but showed slight contamination by wasters around the school premises which include solid, liquid and gaseous from this study is concluded that the borehole water samples in Federal Polytechnic Nekede (FPNO) is good for consumption. ...
