Thirty (30) samples of water were collected and subjected to various laboratory analyses. The results showed that all the analyzed samples of water contain total Iron, nitrites, nitrates and ammonium which widely exceed the standards fixed by WHO which are respectively 0.3 mg / L, 0.5 mg / L, 0.2 mg / L and 0.5 mg / L. Therefore, there is contamination of the water of the study areas with organic and chemical matters.
