The results also .showed that the mean values of iron, copper and lead were 0.47 mgtl, 0.31 mgll and 32.5 ug/l, respectively. The obtained data of bacteriological examination showed that the mean values of total colony count/ml, coliform count /100 ml and E. coli count /100 ml, were 82.2,40.2 and zero, respectively. High percentages of samples lay within the pennissible limit recommended by WHO except for iron, and total colony count where the number of samples lay within the permissible . limit were 66.5% and 60%, respectively.
