Popis:	The aim of the study was to assess the status of groundwater quality of Owerri and environs, for drinking and irrigation purposes. Twenty-two (22) groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for both chemical and physical compositions. The result of the study showed that groundwater in the area is of good quality for drinking purposes, except for pH and Fe, which had higher concentrations in some areas. A weak correlation matrix within the sampled parameters of the groundwater was observed. Hydrogeochemical studies revealed that 91% of the samples are within the geochemical zone of 4 (strong acids (SO
