Of each ecosystem, ten water samples were taken from ten points for analysis. The results showed that the electric conductivity in Ain Al-Ghazala Bay waters is higher than that in the waters of Umm-Hufayn Lake. In the two areas, the hydrogen ion concentration pH recorded the highest value with a value of 8.3, with mean values of chloride (Cl) exceeding the internationally recorded limits. Furthermore, nitrites (NO<sub>2)</sub>, nitrate (NO<sub>3)</sub>, sulphate (SO<sub>4)</sub>, phosphate (PO<sub>4)</sub>, silicates (SiO<sub>2)</sub>, carbonate (CO<sub>3)</sub>, calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), and potassium (K) were all greater in Ain Al-Ghazala Bay waters than in Umm-Hufayn Lake waters. In conclusion, more attention should be directed to the preservation of such natural resources.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Al-Mukhtar Journal of Sciences}, author={Fitori, Amani F. and Al-Mismari, Anwar A.
