This research paper examines the problem and prospects of underground reservoir in Nigeria (a case study of south east geopolitical zone). The study was born out of unregulated manner in which both domestic and industrial wastes are deposited on the streets, river courses, buried, burnt and discarded in refuse heaps affecting underground reservoir. Solid waste commonly generated in south east geopolitical zone includes papers and polyethene, tin and metals, ashes and dust, texture and rags, aluminium and other minerals.
The analysis of physical, chemical and biological of raw water at ten different locations in south east geopolitical zone close to dump areas shows these wastes produce leachates and gases when they are decomposed and are washed by percolating and infiltrating rain water into the underground reservoir.
However, most of the water parameters tested fall within World Health Organisation (W.H.O) recommendations while few are not. Inspite of this, recommendations are made to remedy the situations which include encouraging analysis of raw water, enlightenment campaign, groundwater exploration in south east geopolitical zone should be intensified and the principle of resource management should be adhered to.
