groundwater was assessed to their suitability for drinking at six places of
north-east Libya viz. El-Marj, Albayda,
Shahat, Susa, Ras al-Hilal and Derna, during November, 2003 to March, 2004, by determining
their physicochemical parameters (17 parameters) and water quality index (15
parameters).? The temperatures of water samples
averaged 15.1?C, pH values were
alkaline and dissolved oxygen values were in safe ranges.? Electrical conductivity, total dissolved
solids and hardness of water at all places except? Key words: Desirable limit,
