The results showed theconcentration of the (As,Cd,Cu,Fe,Mn,Ni,Zn,Cr,Pb)inppbfor (WTP)are(0.5,0.6,6.45,38,4.6,2.5,6537,0.58,1.4) (0.6,0.8,6.76,46,5.5,3.5,6675,1,2.4) for (GST)(0.5,0.63,6.46,52.3,4.4,3.6,6550,0.6,2.5) (0.60,0.7,6.78,63.7,6.7,3.7,6680,1.1,2.6)and for tap water are (0.53,0.65,7.00,60.2,4.4,3.65,7200,0.8,2.7) (0.60, 0.71, 7.10,67.6, 6.8,3.75,7320,0.9,2.75) for two seasons respectively the concentrations arewithin the allowed limits by WHO just Zn is exceed the allowed limits . the level ofhealth risks were also assessed by using a number of indices (HQ)ing, (HQ) derm,(HI), (CR) ing (CR) derm for adult and children and for two seasons . (HI) value forZn show health risks this high value of (HI) for Zn make water undrinkable.
