The result of study explained the highest averaga of (Cu&Zn) at the first location which were 26.51and 16.18 microgram/gm of dry weight ,respectively ,with significant difference than the second location (that far from Shatt-Al- Araab river bank which were 21.07&11.24 microgram/gm of dryn weight for (Cu&Zn) respectively Also ,the result proved a monthely variance in the averages of cupper and zink for each locations ,and the higest average of cupper recoded at june month in the first location was 30.09 microgram/gm of dry weight with significant difference than the rest months of the year, while the highest average of cupper at the second location in August which reached 23.18 microgram/gm of dry weight, The result were the same with zinc element and recorded 19.87 microgram/gm of dry weight at first location in june month ,and 13.82 microgram/gm of driy weight, in second location at june month ,with significant difference than other average
