In 21st century, poor drainage system mainly exists because of the increasing population
and urbanization which is associated with deterioration in sanitation and environmental
health conditions. The aim of the present study is based on the analysis of groundwater
pollution along Charrar drain and its impact on health of local residents. A total of eleven
(11) water samples were gathered from various locations along drain. Different Physical
(PH, temp, TDS, TSS), Chemical (BOD, SO4, CT, PO4
) micro biological (total coliform,
Fecal coliform, E.coli) and Metals (Cr, Cd, Pb and Fe) were analyzed in order to determine
water quality. The spatial distribution of water quality parameters was presented using
geospatial techniques. Logistic regression model was applied to check relationship between
distance from drain and disease. The deduced results revealed elevated values of Total
coliform (7.8-11.0 MPN/ 100ml), Fecal coliform (4.5-
7.8 MPN / / ml) and E-coli (2.02-4.5 MPN/ 100 ml), while Physical and Chemical were
parameters were within permissible limits of (WHO, 2011). Several water borne diseases
reported among children were Cholera (8%), diarrhea (11%), hepatitis A (32%), Malaria
(20%), Typhoid (22%) and eye allergy (7%). The model revealed 34.7% (Nagelkerke R2
) of
variance in disease and classified 80% of cases.
