Abstract
Chemical parameters of some borehole water samples in Agbor, Delta State were carried out to
determine its potability for drinking and domestic purposes. Sixty water samples from fifteen
boreholes were sampled in June and July, 2022 (rainy season); and January and February, 2023
(dry season). The chemical parameters were analyzed according to standard methods. On the
average, the chemical parameters analyzed, were within the World Health Organization, 2006
standard except magnesium, hardness, potassium, cadmium, and lead values which exceeded
the permissible limits.
