Majority of all the analyzed water samples are alkaline
due to the presence of calcium and Magnesium bicarbonate.
Also, all surface Nile water samples have TDS
values over 300 ppm and all ground water samples have
TDS over 500 up to 1400 ppm. The analysis reveals that
ground water need certain degree of treatment before
consumption and also need to be protected from the perils
of contamination.
