Abstract:
In this work, we evaluate ground water quality of nine Tazerbo wells southeast
Libya for drinking and irrigation uses. Nine ground water samples were subjected to
Atomic absorption for major ions. The results showed the parameters of water
samples are below the acceptable limit except (Fe). The plot of EC vs. Na %
classified the water samples as excellent quality for irrigation uses. The source of
major ions are originated mainly from silicate rocks. The iron level in the studied
water samples are seriously affected on human health. The techniques that use to
remove the iron from drinking water such as oxidation with chlorine, ozone, green
sand filter and reverse osmosis.
