Abstract : This study accessed the Geospatial Analysis of Water Quality for Domestic use in Ifetedo, Ife South L.G.A., Osun State. The study described the distribution of water resources for drinking purposes, and the physico-chemical properties and quality of the water samples were modeled using geospatial methods. Data were primarily collected from selected households with the aim of assessing the bacteriological and physico-chemical properties. The water samples were collected using 2 L polyethylene bottles and sterilized 100 ml glass bottles by using 281 nested groups placed over the study area, from which thirty-two grids were purposively selected. The coordinates of sample locations were also collected using GPS.

Keywords : Geospatial Analysis, Water Quality Index, Physico-chemical Properties, Bacteriological Properties, Total Coliform Count.
