VI. W ater T ypes Water can be classified chemically base on the mineralization of ionic contents ( Schoeneich, 2001) states that, water can be classified chemically based on mineralization prevailing mega-ions and some trace elements or some dissolved gases. Therefore water can be classified either on Piper trillinear diagram, Wilcox diagram, Schoeller plot or other parameters. Piper diagram was produced based on the values of the major elements analyzed from the water samples. A plot of cations and anions were done on triangle and was projected in a diamond shape representing both anions and cations, from the plot; water type is classified base on water sampled collected from surface water, impounded surface water pond, flowing River and groundwater tapping Upper aquifer through hand dug wells and boreholes tapping Middle aquifer.
