Abstract

In the present work 20hand-dugged and Artesian wells were chosse from Hamad Aga Al-Tathani and Hateen dwelling quarter for studying water quality .Samples of water were analyzed for determination of the following parameters (Electrical conductivity, Total hardness, Sulfate, Chloride ,Nitrate, Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium ).The results reveales that water of all wells were classified as hard to very hard and also water are not suitable for drinking and industrial uses. According to classification system for irrigations water ,All samples (% 1 00) in Hateen region were classified as C3-S 1 category while those of Hamad Aga Al-Tathani were classified as followes C3-S 1%40, C4-Sl %40 ,C3-S2 %10 ,C4-S2%10.Sodicity percentages , in both regions, were less than %70.
