    Assessment of Physicochemical Parameters in Groundwater Quality of Mella Sub-County, Tororo District
    (Busitema University, 2024) Ndigi, Shamiru
    Ndigi Shamiru Groundwater is the major source of drinking water in many areas which is abstracted through boreholes and wells for domestic and industrial use. Effective water quality monitoring assists in checking the equality of water available for consumption. This study was carried out to evaluate the physicochemical quality of borehole and well water parameters in Mella sub-county, eastern region of Tororo district where groundwater is the main source of drinking water. The physicochemical parameters analyzed include; Electrical Conductivity (EC), temperature, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), pH, milliVolts (mV) and turbidity using standard methods of analysis. Obtained results were compared with the World Health Organization (WHO), for drinking water. E.C ranged from 88.37-558.6 S, temperature ranged from 27.3-28.0 oC, TDS ranged from 46.48-293.6 ppm, pH ranged from 5.11-6.68 and turbidity ranged from 0.06-397 NTU.
