ABSTRACT
The purpose of drinking water evaluation is to
guarantee the quality and safety of water intended for human consumption.
During water quality is determined by the water's biological, chemical and
physical features. Water sampling was carried out in UmuariagaOboro Community
in Ikwuano L.G.A, Abia State. The sample was collected from a public tap supply
during wet season. All the values obtained were above the World Health
Organization standard except the microbiological parameters which was in
accordance with the WHO standard. The water in UmuariagaOboro community is not
safe for drinking. The WHO standard for the pH of portable water is 6.5-8.5 but
the in-situ pHvalue of the water in UnuariagaOboro is 5.6. Finally, this paper
present some challenges that in the opinion of the author, there is still need
to incorporate more effort into drinking water evaluation. Furthermore, a need
to define common criteria for some nonresolved topics such as products and
materials in contact with drinking water and domestic conditioning equipment
has also been identified.
