The purpose of this study was aimed to evaluate the quality of the drinking water in fifteen wells for Ajdabya City and its surrounding areas in Libya by measuring the conductivity, total dissolved solids, major calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), sodium (Na+), potassium(K+), lithium(Li+) and total hardness (TH) in the groundwater. According to this study, the conductivity, total dissolved solids, and cation concentrations were rose in the majority of the groundwater samples except in forth wall of Zuwaytinah area, which was in limiting value (EC = 770), (TDS =340), (TH =360), (Ca2+ =160). Meanwhile rest the chemical analysis were higher than limiting value (Na+= 390), (k+ 60) and (Li+ =60) when compared to the WHO and Libyan drinking water standards.
