Abstract

Water is one of the most important of all natural resources known on earth. It is important to all living organisms, most ecological systems, human health, food production and economic development. The safety of drinking water is important for the health. The safety of drinking water is affected by various contaminants, which included chemical and microbiological. Such contaminants cause serious health problems. The aim of this study was to determine the physico-chemical parameters quality of drinking water quality in Merowe city-north Sudan. The following water quality parameters were determined which were chosen as the major indicators namely PH, Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), Electrical conductivity (EC), Total hardness (TH), calcium, sulphate, iron, nitrate, and nitrite. Our results show that the physical and chemical quality of the waters of Merowe city was high quality. All statistics was carrying out using SPSS version (16).
