This paper examines the structural and environmental aspects of the use of underground wells in Esanland of
Edo State. The structural aspects dealt with the structural condition of the wells which was observed to be poor because many
wells had cracks and leakages, surface peelings, bad channels and coverings. The environmental aspects described the conditions
of dust, smoke, household effluents, waste dumps, bushy surroundings, flooding and erosion affecting the wells. Due to these
conditions, it was observed that water needs from the wells were not met adequately in the study area. To be able to meet with
the demand, other sources of supply were sort and this affected the finances of the people. Data used for the study were obtained
from primary and secondary sources. Analysis was simply descriptive statistics using tables.
