Abstract: Considering the significance of water to public well-being, this study was carried out to determine the physico chemical parameters of drinking water from Boreholes, Taps, Wells, Pond and Dam used in Dutsin-ma Local Government Area, Katsina State during dry season to determine the quality of water used for drinking in Dutsin-ma. Two hundred water samples were analysed using standard analytical methods from March to June 2018. The parameters evaluated include: colour, taste, odour, pH, chloride, phosphate, sulphate, nitrate, hardness, electric conductivity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and total dissolve solid (TDS). The results from the laboratory analysis showed that most of the sources were colourless, odourless and tasteless and most of the physico-....
