Abstract :
Coastal communities have been heavily
influenced by anthropogenic pollution. These
environmental issues include the enrichment of water
with organic matter leading to eutrophication and
pollution by industrial chemicals and oils. This study
investigated groundwater, surface water, sediment and
soil. Water samples were collected from two boreholes,
one hand-dug well, river water, water sediment and top
soil located in Isaka Town, Okrika Local Government
Area, Rivers State, Nigeria, where the entire population
rely only on groundwater from boreholes, worst still, the
lack of public power supply and the possible breakdown
of generating sets used in pumping water from the
borehole oftentimes make the people susceptible to the use
of unprotected hand dug wells. Prescribed international
procedures were mocrobiological parameters of each of
