Hydrochemistry with special reference to fluoride contamination in groundwater of the Bongo district, Upper East Region, Ghana

This study was conducted to understand the hydrochemistry of groundwater in the Bongo district and unravel the source of fluoride in the groundwater using an integrated hydrochemical analysis and multivariate geostatistical analysis. A total of thirty (30) borehole water samples were collected in various communities in the district during the dry season. The district is dominated by Upper Birimian (Paleoproterozoic) metavolcanics and granitoids...
