Abstract :
The aim of this study was to measure the concentrations of some acid radicals in ground water samples, obtained from, boreholes, hand-dug wells, and pump wells, within Bara basin (Sudan). The measured parameters include sulphate, nitrate, nitrite, carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, fluoride, and sulphide ions as well as ammonia nitrogen. The samples were spectrophotometrically analyzed using HACH method. Bicarbonates and chloride contents were measured titrimetricaly. The analysis showed high nitrate content in all samples. Some samples showed high sulphate and chloride contents, whereas others had higher bicarbonate content. The obtained results were statistically analyzed using SPSS program. The means of the measured values were correlated with some cations concentrations (means) for the same water sources to predict the probable geological background of the measured contaminants.
