Across the world today are communities where residents suffer from untold hardships getting about their mundane chores simply due to the level of hydrocarbon-induced pollution from spillage into water bodies, explosions etc. owing to ageing or vandalized pipelines running underneath and so on. Research has shown that a good number of communities in Lagos state are victims of hydrocarbon induced pollution and the focus has been on the conspicuous effects such as the damages from explosions. However, only a few articles have successfully described the underlying effects of hydrocarbon induced pollution in cases of groundwater pollution. This study aims at investigating the groundwater pollution in Baruwa community, Lagos state, providing more information about the extent of the pollution and identifying the hydrocarbon pollutants responsible. Based on a good number of literatures reviewed, two types of investigation approaches were utilized: geophysical survey and physicochemical analysis of contaminated water samples.
