Abstract
Libya is considered as one of those countries having limited renewable water resources where most parts of the country are arid. The present study represents an attempt to evaluate the ground water quality along 20 km coastal stretch east of Al-Khums city, northwest Libya. A total number of thirty ground water samples were analyzed for their chemical characteristics including pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), chloride, sulphate, bicarbonate, nitrate, sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium content. Higher concentrations of some cations and anions were observed specialty in wells near the sea. An over-reliance on ground water to meet an ever-increasing water demand has resulted in an excessive depletion of the fresh ground water stock and the situation is being exacerbated by seawater intrusion. However, Wadi Kaam and Wadi libda play an important role in decreasing seawater intrusion around their basins
