Abstract The study of the effect of well water in the city of Tabuk in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the irrigation of farms and plants. The research was divided into two parts: theoretical and practical and also was The use of the experimental method for its relevance to the current study has reached the current study to the important results, :including the value of high electrical conductivity in the well water of - Tabuk, which helps to increase and improve the properties of soil and its impact on soil permeability, which is a scientific phenomenon started in many countries of the world. .The important role of well water in increasing soil fertility- - Effectiveness of using well water to irrigate agricultural areas Tabuk region. Among the recommendations of the study: Study of the effect of using well water on soil productivity in various areas of the Kingdom and benefit from agricultural techniques. Hypotheses - There is a relationship between well water and its validity to irrigate the soil. - There is a relationship between water wells and the delivery of electricity. Procedures: A sample of well water was taken in the city of Tabuk and studied in terms of the quantity of oxygen and nitrate, and the connection of the current and the degree of ph and the degree of transparency. Main results: After the experiment, the amount of oxygen in the well water of Tabuk was found to be high. Nitrates were moderate, and it was noticed that the conductivity of the deep well water was higher in the surface wells, and the acidity in the well water was higher than the surface, Surface water.

Hi Guys!!
What wonderfull study you did!! I liked to read your research report and I felt very concerned by its conclusions, as I'm from Africa. In our region people depend mostly on well water for living and for agriculture. By reading your report I undestood why products from farms where well water is used, are more beautiful and more developed.
Keep doing that great job (y). You are real scientists!!
One question : Does the depth of the well affects the quality of the water (DO, nitrates, etc)?
