abstract = "Water is considered polluted when unwanted materials with potentials to threaten human and other natural systems find their ways into water sources (Rivers, lakes, well, boreholes or reserved fresh water) in homes or industries. In this work, an attempt is made to use different statistical techniques such as preliminary study, data visualization, hypothesis testing with respect to the standards by the World Health Organization and the Standards Organization of Nigeria through modelling distribution and goodness of fit to 13 pollutants of two different rivers in Oyo state to assess its safety and it was examined that not all the pollutants were right skewed. The pairwise correlation showed that few of the pollutants were highly correlated and they exhibit trend which claimed further corresponding testing which established the concentration of Pollutants to be higher in Eleyele than Asejire for almost all Pollutants. Lognormal distribution described the pattern of the various pollutants better than Weibull distribution through the goodness of fit application.",
