Abstract: The research work, the impact of environmental management practice on groundwater quality in Mubi was investigated. The investigation was carried out base on water pollution sources, which include Septic Tank, Cesspool, Deep Discharge Injection of waste, refuse disposal, Fertilizers, pit latrines Waste/dead decayed matter, Insecticides /herbicides chemicals, and groundwater infiltration and percolation. A total of eight sampling points were selected from different sources from which water was obtained by the public, and analysis was carried out using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) for indicators of faecal pollution, heavy metals and other contaminants. The study revealed that the content of pH, TDS, Total hardness, Chloride, Sodium and Potassium, Sulphate, Fluoride and Coliforms, were ranged 6.87-8.50, 1210-1520mg/L,127-295mg/L, 51-81mg/L, 20-54mg/L and 12-33mg/L,36-57mg/L,0.75-1.25mg/L and 130-180cfu/100ml, respectively. It shows that there is high contents of TDS, Total Hardness and Coliforms above the recommended maximum permissible limit prescribed for drinking water quality by WHO, (2013)..
