Water is one of the most important elements in life. But every year, over 3.5 million people die as

a result of water-borne diseases in developing countries because they consume contaminated water

(Duodu, 2014). In Ghana, around 30% of the population has access to treated pipe-borne water

that is safe to drink, while the remaining 70% rely on alternate sources such as boreholes, streams,

rain water and rivers (Peprah & Opoku, 2018).

The physicochemical contaminants which affect groundwater quality are likely to come from a

variety of sources, including agricultural waste, chemical and organic waste, irrigation water

infiltration, septic tanks, and infiltration of effluent from sewage treatment plants, pits, lagoons,

and ponds used for storage (Pathak & Limaye, 2012). Groundwater contamination may cause

serious impacts on human health (Gyau-Boakye et al., 2008).

Egbueri et al.,(2020) assert that many cases of physicochemical contaminants in drinking water

and their associated health risks have been reported from different parts of the world. Similar cases

have also been reported from Ghana (Duodu,2014). In order to prevent the consequences of

physicochemical water pollution on humans, it is important to regularly assess and monitor the

quality variations of drinking water supplies within a geographic area ( Egbueri et al., 2020).
