Abstract EN

Groundwater is the main source for obtaining water in the Farafra Depression, due to the scarcity of rain and the lack of another source to obtain it, as well as its use in all activities, so it was necessary to conduct studies on the quality of this water, to determine the extent of its suitability and its impact on various human uses, In order to achieve this, more than 100 water wells were selected in the Farafra Depression, located in the middle of the Egyptian Western Desert, with an area of 11474.7 km2, from which water samples were taken and laboratory analyzes of a number of elements such as dissolved salts, total hardness, pH, electrical conductivity, sodium and potassium Calcium, chlorine and sulfate, in addition to the elements of iron and manganese, and the results showed the convergence of degrees of concentration of all elements from the lower limits according to the classification of the World Health Organization in 1996, which confirmed that the groundwater in the depression is suitable for all uses such as drinking, agriculture, industry and other uses.

After getting rid of the excess iron in it, especially in the drinking water.
