Granitoids Aquifer Water Quality Appraisal in Kassena Nankana, Bawku West, and Garu Tempane Districts in Ghana

The most valuable natural resource on Earth is groundwater, which serves more than
two billion populaces as a drinking water source worldwide. Despite its vital importance,
groundwater has faced significant challenges, particularly in terms of its quality. Therefore, a
thorough understanding of groundwater hydrogeochemistry is essential to assess the water
needs for domestic use and irrigation use. This research evaluates groundwater quality in
granitoid aquifers in the Kassena Nankana, Bawku West, and Garu Tempane districts of Ghana.
An integrated approach was used, incorporating The World Health Organization (WHO), the
Water Quality Index (WQI), and irrigation indices to offer recommended values for domestic and
irrigation purposes.
