Discussion

This observational analysis assesses water quality in boreholes, indicating several parameters exceed safety standards for drinking water.

Water quality index indicates suitable drinking water at most sites, except ONN 2, with urgent remediation needed.
Measured parameters show variable pH (4.4–7.16), electrical conductivity (14–102 µS/cm), and heavy metals like Fe and Mn.
Standard methods helped analyze 20 parameters in water samples collected from ten boreholes across the study area.
Groundwater monitoring is crucial, as findings reveal contamination and compliance issues with health safety standards.

Ekwere et al. (2025) studied this question.
