Popis:	The levels of some physicochemical parameters and some selected heavy metals from boreholes and wells water were assessed in Dutse District area of Jigawa. Samples were collected randomly from different sampling sites and were analyzed using standard methods of analysis. The result shows that pH had a mean level of 7.8 + 1.45, conductivity mean level was 532.4 + 28.64 MSCM-1. The mean total hardness was 160.5 + 0.7, Turbidity had a mean level of 1.7 + 0.22 NTU, chloride had a mean level of 69.91 + 21mg/l and total dissolve solid TDS had a mean of 292.9 + 21.14mg/l. heavy metals analyzed include copper, chromium, lead, nicked and zinc using Hitachi Z – 8100 Atomic absorption spectrometer and their mean levels are 0.31 + 0.2mg/l, 0.11+ 0.01mg/l, 0.14 + 0.007mg/l, 0.20 + 0.007mg/l and 0.09 + 0.002mg/ls respectively. The result indicates that the physicochemical parameters and the heavy metals are within the maximum allowable levels set by WHO and NDWQS 2011.
