Abstract : The objective of this study is to assess the physico-chemical and microbiological quality of borehole water in Camp Massard district, located in the Manika commune of Kolwezi city, southeastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The aim is to determine whether this water is suitable for drinking according to World Health Organization (WHO) standards. Three water samples were collected three times of the day (morning, noon, and evening) once a week for four weeks from six boreholes. Analyses were conducted in CRAA and LAE laboratories using standardized methods for organoleptic, physico-chemical, and microbiological parameters.

Keywords : Groundwater, Borehole, Potability, Pollution.
