The essences of barium, calcium, sodium, sulphate, phosphate, and cyanide in groundwater in Boji-Boji (BB) area and suburbs of Ika land, Delta state, Nigeria, were examined. Without some form of treatment, groundwater is the basic source of water for the locals of these societies. The essence concerning this exercise is to study few facets of the hydro-geochemistry of groundwater in these communities to authorize its excellence for devouring and the sustainable welfare of the people. There are 55 borehole water sites spread across these five sample substitute-fields. Solar Unicam flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer was used to analyse the metal ions. The colorimetric system was used to determine the sulphate, phosphate, and cyanide elements of larger object. The results show the ghost of sodium, calcium, sulphate, and phosphate. However, barium and cyanide were below the discovery limit. Second, the aquifer held a greater proportion of calcium and sulphate than sodium and phosphate.Third, a mean percentage value of 0,018 and 0.158 were noticed for Na+/Ca2+ and PO43-/SO42- individually. Fourth, sodium had a strong equating with all of the different limits. Finally, the concentrations of the studied limits are below the WHO's maximum contaminator levels, meaning that the water is free of analytes. However, the sodium concentrations in many sample fields continue to cause concern from a strength belief.
