Contamination of groundwater wells in Buhriz district

Abstract

The chemical and physical properties of (10) underground wells in Buhriz district were studied, and most of their depths ranged between (20-70 meters). The significant change in the chemical and physical properties of water, and the extent of the possibility of groundwater contamination in the region by the effect of leakage from surface sources of pollution, based on the geological, hydrological and hydrochemical conditions of the aquifer and water in the region.The study showed that there are pollution areas where the concentrations of most of the elements exceed the permissible limits in drinking water in most of the sites in the region. Pollution that arises from human action or industrial or agricultural activities and methods of treating this, in addition to sewage, waste and sewage water, which causes many diseases as a result of the accumulation of these substances in the body for a long time,Several maps have been drawn for the research area showing the distribution of groundwater wells in the region as well as showing the chemical and physical elements, to take this into account when planning a new development project in the region so that these projects do not become sources of groundwater pollution.
