Abstract :
Water pollution, being a common hazard not
only to human health but also the environment at large,
has subsequently raised an issue as to what measures we
can take to end this. This study wasdone specifically on
Mbagathi River and the results compared to the WHO
drinking water quality standards. Physico-chemical
parameters measured were; turbidity, total dissolved
solids, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological
oxygen demand (BOD), nitrates and phosphates. For
bacteriological contamination, total coliforms and faecal
coliforms were analysed. Across the different sampling
points, One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used
