Chemical parameters of some borehole water samples in Agbor, Delta State were carried out todetermine its potability for drinking and domestic purposes. Sixty water samples from fifteenboreholes were sampled in June and July, 2022 (rainy season); and January and February, 2023(dry season). The chemical parameters were analyzed according to standard methods. On theaverage, the chemical parameters analyzed, were within the World Health Organization, 2006standard except magnesium, hardness, potassium, cadmium, and lead values which exceededthe permissible limits.
