This study is based on an analysis of drinking water at Koya city, Kurdistan-Iraq. Since the source of tap water comes either from Dokan Lake or from groundwater resources. Therefore, ten samples from houses tab water of Koya city and ten samples from well-known brands of bottled water were collected. Concentrations of the metals in such water samples were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence and compared with WHO water quality standards for minerals. The experimental results show that most elements detected in this study were within the guidelines given by WHO for drinking water, while four elements of Ca, Al, Mg, and Cr were identified as risky elements in developing diseases since their level exceed the WHO standard levels. Positive relationships between risky elements and some serious diseases were discussed. Statistical work shows that elements; Ca, Al, and Cr have a high risk while Mg has a low risk.
