“…The ability of water to form foam is affected by water hardness. The higher the water hardness, the more difficult it is for soap to form foam due to precipitation (Bozorg-Haddad et al, 2021;Das, 2023). The results of hardness effectiveness tests on dug wells and drilled wells are seen in Table 2.…”

The problem that is often faced in groundwater management, especially deep groundwater such as boreholes is hardness. This can happen because in the process of taking it from the soil through various layers of soil including limestone soil containing Ca and Mg, so that the water becomes hard. Hard water is found in areas where the top soil layer is thick and there is limestone formation. This study aims to identify the physical quality and hardness level of clean water sourced from dug wells and drilled wells, after treatment through filtration methods. Filtration is carried out using mixed media with variations in residence time in the filtration media, namely 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 90 minutes. The results showed that the effectiveness of reducing hardness in dug wells and drilled wells was highest for a variation in 90 minutes, For dug wells, the effectiveness of 90 minutes of residence time reached 9.18% and for drilled wells, the effectiveness reached 16.36%.

Background: Worldwide, there has been increased contamination of water bodies, affecting their quality and making them unsafe for human use. This study aims to assess the physico-chemical parameters and water quality in communities in Abia State, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in communities in Umuahia South, Arochukwu, and Bende Local Government Areas in Abia State. The communities were selected through random sampling of balloting. A cross-sectional analytical study design was used for this study. One (1) liter plastic bottle was used to collect water samples from the borehole/tap, spring, and stream in the communities. Water samples collected in sterile (1) liter plastic bottles were stored in iced-lined coolers and then transported to the laboratory for analysis. Laboratory data was entered into, and analysed with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 25. Results: This study revealed that the pH of the boreholes/ tap water in Arochukwu and Umuahia LGAs in dry and rainy seasons was below the WHO standard. In Bende LGA, the pH was within the WHO standard during the dry season whereas in the rainy season, it was below the WHO standard of 7.0 - 8.9mg/l. There was a statistically significant difference between the pH of borehole water during the dry and rainy seasons (p=0.004). A statistically significant difference was observed between zinc in the borehole water during the dry and rainy seasons (p=0.002). Also, Cadmium in the borehole water had a statistically significant difference during the dry and rainy seasons (p=0.001). Conclusion: Generally, the study highlights the poor water quality in different locations and seasons, with several parameters falling below WHO acceptable standards. Community leaders should collaborate with the government to provide safe and quality drinking water.
