The results of the laboratory analysis carried out on water samples are shown in Table 2 while the results of the
descriptive data analysis are shown in Table 3. pH was found to range from 5.26 to 7.77 with a mean value of
6.48. In about 16 locations, pH values were higher than 6.5 which is recognized as the minimum limit. The mean
of 6.48 observed implies a close to acidity state of groundwater from shallow wells. With a standard deviation of
0.61, there is very little variation in pH
