Assessment of Groundwater Quality and Water Insecurity Indicators in Sokoto Basin, Nigeria

This study presents an integrated assessment of groundwater quality in the semi-arid Sokoto Basin of Northwestern Nigeria, focusing on climate-stressed and data-scarce conditions. Using samples from 54 boreholes and wells, the research employs novel methods including hydrochemical and heavy metal characterization combined with spatial statistical analyses to identify water insecurity indicators across different aquifer systems.
