Results of physical, chemical and bacteriological tests showed that the water qualities of these wells were not agree with standard of WHO requirements, as well as results showed increase in concentrations of TDS, BOD the labertory analysis revealed that increased of total hardness and musured the percentage of Ca2+, Mg2+,Cl--, and polluter with bacteria which not fed human consumption .
