To strategize mitigation measures, an investigation into water sources became necessary. This study adopted Water Quality Index (WQI), Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) and Hazard Index (HI) approaches to evaluate water quality from hand-dug wells within Rafin Zurfi area, Bauchi State. The specific objectives were; sample characterization, statistical analysis by SPSS, and determination of health risk analysis by WQI. Water from Hand-dug wells were examined using standard methods of the American Public Health Association (APHA). Experimental results proved that pH values of samples are adequate according to NSDWQ, while samples E and L exceeded the WHO permissible limits. Turbidity, Total hardness, TSS, EC, BOD, Ca, SO42?, Cl?, Cu and Zn measurements were all within permissible limits. The analytical results were taken in to Geographic Information Systems environment (GIS) to generate numerical spatial variation maps for parameters examined and show the health risk associated to heavy metals. HI values for adults and children were found to be 4.365119 � 10?3 and 5.180528 � 10?3, respectively. Therefore, the study concludes that, there is no significant danger of metal toxicity from the sample wells (since HI < 1). � 2020 Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University Final 2023-05-29T08:06:57Z 2023-05-29T08:06:57Z 2020 Article 10.1016/j.asej.2020.02.004 2-s2.0-85082815016 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85082815016&doi=10.1016%2fj.asej.2020.02.004&partnerID=40&md5=8b16c1a2321aa06ad4f79bb347debf3e https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/25142 11 4 983 999 All Open Access, Gold, Green Ain Shams University Scopus |
