As a precious resource, groundwater needs to be shielded from pollution. It is crucial to preserve not just the amount but also the quality of the groundwater supply. Because of toxicity, health risks, and industrialization, pollution-related groundwater contamination is becoming a bigger problem. In the ogbomoso local government area of oyo state, Nigeria, a few shallow wells will be used for this study’s investigation of the impact of magnetic fields on steam injection groundwater treatment. The groundwater samples tainted with oil were taken from various wells situated at various points in Ogbomoso, Oyo State. The flow source installed was a steam injection. The global health organization’s (who) results and the treated water results were contrasted. The following characteristics were measured before and after treatment: ph, dissolved oxygen (do), ec, turbidity, nitrate, potassium, iron, zinc, hardness, biological oxygen demand (bod), and chemical oxygen demand (cod). There was a range of 7.53 to 7.98, 8 to 12 mg/l, 100 to 665 µs/cm, and 0. 014 to 0.106 ntu for the pH, oxygen content, ec value, and turbidity. Nitrate, potassium, iron, zinc, and other elements varied in values from 0.03 to 2.57, 1 to 28.54, 1 to 17.06, and 0.01 to 0.03 mg/l, respectively. The ranges for cod, bod, and hardness were 3 to 8.5 mg/l, 1.5 to 4.5 mg/l, and 34 to 116 ppm, respectively. The quality of treated groundwater sample is enhanced by steam injection method. The quality of treated water is significantly enhanced when steam injection is used in conjunction with magnetic fields.
