INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MAJOR, MINOR AND TRACE-ELEMENTS IN KALABSHAWELLS AND IN HIGH-DAM-LAKE WATERS

Major, minor, physical (electrical conductivity) & chemical components (HCOS3-, SO42-, Cl-, Ca, Mg, Na, K, pH, TDS) and trace elements (Ag, Cd, Co, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr, and Zn) were determined in Kalabsh a wells and in the High Dam Lake water. The water characteristics were followed up in the years 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994. The results showe d higher values for Cond. HCO3-, Cl-, SO42-, Ca, Mg, Na, K, TDS, Ag, C d, Co, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr and Zn in the water wells of Kalabsh a area than in the Lake water. The pH values of the Lake water were hi gher than those of the wells water. There is no irregular interrelatio nship of major, minor and trace elements between the water of Kalabsha wells and the water of the High Dam Lake. However, Lake water is suit able for human consumption. The statistical analysis of the database o f wells and Lake water shows positive and significant correlation coef ficient values (r=0.665-0.986) between pairs: N: & Co, N. & Zn, Ni & F e, Mn & Sr,....etc) standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of varianc e (C.V.%) of the wells and Lake water are in the range 0.19-75 and 0.7 -53, respectively.
