Drinking water quality was investigated at Daranna community the mineral rich part of Kaoje town in Kebbi state, to ensure the continuous supply of clean and safe drinking water for the public health protection. In this regard, a physical and chemical analysis of drinking water samples was carried out for samples collected at different locations within the community areas. A number of parameters such as colour, temperature, pH, electric conductivity, dissolved oxygen, total hardness, COD, nitrate, phosphate, sulphate, ammonia, iron, lead, zinc, potassium, copper, and magnesium were analyzed for each water sample collected during wet and dry season. The obtained values of each parameter were compared with the standard values set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and local standards such as Federal Ministry of Environment (FMEnv). The values of water quality parameters such as phosphate, sulphate, iron, lead and zinc from all samples collected from different residential and community borehole of Daranna were found to be within the recommended limits of FMEnv and WHO. However, some major ions of the water samples were found in excess of FMEnv and, WHO standard limits. There is an urgent need to educate people and bring awareness about the causes, affects and prevention of groundwater pollution and also the consequences of impacts of pollution on human health.
