  The Afram River has suffered significant degradation and pollution due to the massive amount of domestic wastewater, premix oil and fertiliser runoff from agricultural activities entering the river. At three sites, ten physicochemical and heavy metal parameters were measured along the river. This research aimed to characterise water quality variations in space and time. Water samples were collected and analysed using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) at the University of Ghana and the results were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics and presented in tables. The field results were in comparison to Standards thresholds set out by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
