Temperature, turbidity, nutrients, hardness, alkalinity, dissolved oxygen, etc.

are some of the important factors that determine the growth of living organisms in the water body.

This paper aims to assess the Physical, Chemical, quality of drinking water in the Afgoye district Methods: Drinking water was collected from the common water sources of the Afgoye town and sent for Physical, Chemical analysis laboratory Results: The results showed that the water sources of a filtered of Hijra well free from harmful chemical and bacteriological factors based on their physical and biological characteristics.

Water samples for physical and chemical assessment all the water samples show the physical parameters of the water, such as PH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS) were within the normal limits.

The water sources of Saajid, Towfiq and River water does not free from harmful chemicals.

Therefore, not considered potable water for human consumption Conclusions: from the results of this study, the groundwater in the study area can be regarded as being of good quality for drinking and agriculture purposes, except for Towfiq, Sajid wells and river do not free from harmful chemicals and bacteriological factors based on their physical and biological characteristics.
