QUANTITY AND QUALITY STUDIES FOR CONTAMINATED UNDERGROUND WATER IN ABHAR PLAIN (NW OF IRAN)

latitude. Human pollutants are mainly home and human sewage which is discharged by absorbent wells that seems to be one of the best ways of discharging sewage. On the other hand in the places where the underground water recharges the river, there is a possibility of having some environmental problems in the nearly future. From the bacteriological point of view, Abhar Roud River is highly contaminated. Although, in the underground water is more found sulphate type near the recharge place, but there are no evaporative layers and in all probability, this change has been made as a result of discharge urban and factory sewage by absorbent wells. Necessary from the bacteriological point of view, no pollution has been reported from the wells in Abhar plain.
