A new field technique for detecting alpha and beta radionuclides in water samples has been developed. The technique entails concentrating a 0.5 L water sample with Actinide Resin (Eichrom Technologies, Inc.), then co-precipitating MnO2 and detecting the results with a GQ GMC-600+. Geiger Muller's counter. A standard method was also used to detect the gross alpha and beta activity in the same samples of water. A total of 10 samples were collected from wells and boreholes in different locations within the Pankshin metropolis
