A Study of ground water quality in Riyadh (capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) waters is presented. The chemical study indicates the presence of about 24 elements in these waters. Most of the metals and toxic elements have been found below the upper permissible limits suggested by various health organizations. The hydrogeological study indicates the source of these waters is two aquifers. The waters from these aquifers are found to be Ca-CI and Mg-SO4 type, and are believed to be of marine and meteoric origin. The waters from the Riyadh region are found to be suitable for drinking purposes.
