The chemical properties of selected heavy metals in groundwater from selected locations in Samaru, Zaria were determined and compared with Nigerian standards.Water samples were collected and chemical properties were determined. The Chemical properties such as Lead (Pb), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Cobalt (Co), Iron (Fe) Cadmium (Cd), Manganese (Mn), and Nickel (Ni) were determined. The chemical properties were determined following the American Public Health Association (APHA) procedure. The Data were analyzed using the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Nigerian Standard of Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ). The findings showed that Pb, Zn, Cu, Co in all the samples and Fe in samples B, D, F, and G` were within the acceptable limit. While Cd, Mn, and Ni in all the samples and Fe in samples A, C, E, and H were more than the acceptable limit as presented in Table 2. Therefore the results show that the Samaru Groundwater is not totally good for consumption since Cadmium (Cd), Manganese (Mn), and Nickel (Ni) were more than the acceptable limit. Moreover, it is recommended that urgent prevention measures should be put in place to prevent increased concentrations of Cd, Fe, Mn, and Ni as a result of anthropogenic activities.Keywords: Concentration, Drinking water quality, Groundwater, Heavy metals.
