A total with 15 samples was collected from 3 wells in the aljazaier distreet in Babil governorate for the period from January to April 2020, to study the microbial contamination represented by fecal bacteria, while chemical contamination includes a physochemical and the heavy element’s properties. The goal of this study: Study the water of some wells from some microbes and chemical aspects and evaluate this according to Iraqi standards and specifications. Results showed microbial pollution by fecal Coliform bacteria in well water when using Using the agar media. Results showed the difference in the mean of (MPN) of well water. It was found that the EC value (1061) μs/cm was exceeded the permissible limit in W1, Cl values (325, 430)mg/l, pb values (0.43, 0.14) μg/l and Ni values (0.11, 0.11) μg/l and the permissible limit were exceeded in W1, W2 and SO4 values (681, 653, 584) mg / l also the permissible limit was exceeded in W1, W2 and W3 as well as Ag value (0.12) μg/l is in W1 only. The total risk index (HIT) in the groundwater for W1, W2, W3 was acceptable for adult values ΣHI( 0.23, 0.97, 3.8E-4 ) and children values ΣHI ( 2.6E-2, 1.6E-2, 1.3E-3 ) respectively.
