The physico-chemical composition of groundwater from handdug wells were assessed in rural administrative of Dire Dawa, Eastern Ethiopia. A total of 22 hand-dug well water samples were collected from the well fields. All the samples were analysed for five physicochemical parameters (conductivity, total dissolved solid, total hardness, pH and turbidity) and primary cations and anions (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+ and Cl-) using appropriate procedures and outcome of the analysis were counterchecked with the national and international standards. The ground water physicchemical analysis where undertaken in Central laboratory of Haramaya University and result of the selected sample shows that 95.65% for total hardness and 78.26% for turbidity which indicates higher than ES... view moreĀ»
