  ABSTRACT: This study investigated the hydrogeochemical characteristics of groundwater impacted by waste dumps through computation of different hydrogeological/chemical indices and related health risk assessment of major heavy metals (HVM) in relation to different population groups in Keffi Metropolis. Samples from ten (10) groundwater sources were collected for analysis. Results revealed that the concentration of major cations from the samples was in the order: Ca2+ > Na+ + K+ > Mg2+, while major anionic constituents were in the order: HCO3->CO32->SO42-> Cl- > F- respectively. Water quality index (WQI) computed indicated that the groundwater of the study area is not suitable for domestic purposes particularly drinking as some of the parameters exceed the WHO guidelines. Generally, the HVM hazard quotients (HQ) of non-carcinogenic (NC) and carcinogenic toxicity (TC) for both population groups were lower (HQ ere lower (HQ
