Abstract
Drinking water quality in our communities can deteriorate rapidly due to anthropogenic activities that eventually affect its portability. This study's objective is to better understand the water quality differences among the available sources of water used in the Doko community. The physiochemical parameters of samples collected from boreholes and hand-dug wells were examined and compared with the Nigeria Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) and the World Health Organisation (WHO). Twelve samples were collected, six each from boreholes and hand-dug wells, for the analysis. The parameters examined for portability of the water were Temperature, Turbidity, Electrical Conductivity, Total Dissolved solids, pH, Hardness, Alkalinity, chloride, and colour. The result showed that the parameters were within the limit of portability and safe for human consumption according to the NSDWQ and WHO standards except for hardness, which is higher in all the samples examined, and turbidity in Tsawata, a hand-dug well sample with 13.43 NTU, and Tagogi (Anfani fugi) with 17.08 NTU a borehole sample, above the standard threshold of 5 NTU.

Key words: Doko Municipality, Water Quality, Water Portability, Physiochemical Parameters
