Abstract: 
This study revealed case study on how to exploit time series investigation as extracting device to trace the transience of sodium discharge and to forecast the sodium accumulation in groundwater. Abuja North Nigeria, was chosen as study zone, and twenty-five groundwater monitoring boreholes positioned within the domain of sodium discharge were subjected to time series scrutiny. The measured sodium values in groundwater are from 55.98 to 515.45 mg/L, and compare with WHO limit of 50 mg/L. Time series scrutiny is a suitable tool for mining stimulating archetype from well-arranged series of observations. From extorting information from ACF, season model, time series modeler and CCF, the style, interesting patterns, procedures, or models around the original data set were sort out. IBM SPSS Modeller V18.x and Aq.QA time series plot, were engaged to construe the data from the monitoring information of groundwater quality.
