In Nigeria, as in many African nations,  groundwater is the major source of drinking water, yet, a lack of quantitative data has meant that prior to last decade, groundwater storage was consequently omitted from assessments of freshwater availability. Strategies for increasing supply of drinking water on the widespread drilling of high yielding boreholes are only likely to succeed where local scale mapping of available resources are available, and successful tests of the physiochemical and microbial parameters of water sources are completed. 

It is with this in mind that Abodunde Farms consulted with researchers at Obafemi Awolowo University, and the University of Benin, who had recently published 'Quality of some water source in the environs of Igarra, Akoko-Edo, Nigeria'. We followed this up by commissioning a hydro-geological survey for on-site water supply development, designed our system, and completed the construction of a water treatment and packaging facility.
