Ground Water Quality Assessment for Drinking and Irrigation purposes of Tazerbo Well Field, Libya, Line 500

The suitability of ground water in the studied wells is evaluated for drinking water and public health purposes compared with WHO (2018) guideline values. All physicochemical analysis of the ground water samples are less than the safe limit except for the iron (Fe) which must be treated, high concentration level of Fe in drinking water due to is the presence of Fe in lateritic rocks. According to total dissolved solids (TDS) classification, the studied water samples were classified as fresh water and desirable for drinking In addition, the cross plot of total dissolved solids (TDS) vs. total hardness (TH) showing the hardenss of water, which suggest the ground water samples were soft fresh water, the irrigation parameters that used in the studied wells were suitable for irrigation uses.
