Physicochemical parameters and heavy metal concentrations in hand-dug well in Ga East municipality in southern Ghana

Hand-dug wells play a crucial role as a primary source of drinking water for numerous communities, especially those lacking access to treated water. However, water from such wells can occasionally be contaminated, posing health risks. The purpose of the study was to investigate the physicochemical properties and heavy metal concentrations in thirty hand-dug wells in the Ga East Municipality of Ghana. Water samples from...
