| Abstract | ||
| This study deals with the nitrate pollution in groundwater of Sulaimaniyah city. Sixty eight water well samples and two water samples from "karez" were collected equally from the districts of the city. The samples collected from different aquifers (Quaternary sediments and Kometan and Tanjero formations) and from different depths. Majority of the water wells (63% of the groundwater in Sulaimaniyah city) is polluted with NO3. The main source of this pollution by NO3 in the groundwater comes from sewages. Waters of polluted wells are not suitable for drinking purposes. | ||
