| Abstract: | Groundwater samples were collected from different parts of Port-Harcourt metropolis and analyzed for relevant physical, chemical and bacteriological parameters using standard field and laboratory techniques. The high concentration of the trace elements (Pb, Mn, Cu, Fe, As and Zn), NO3- and low pH can be attributed to the heavy industrial activity in the area. The bacteriological investigation also indicates the high concentration of total coliform, which can be attributed to groundwater contamination via animal faeces. Water in the area is predominantly soft to moderately hard and is dominated by Calcium-Chloride water type indicating a marine source |
