Groundwater is one of the major sources of exploitation in arid and semi-arid regions, Thus for protecting groundwater quality, data on spatial and temporal distribution are important. Geostatistics methods are one of the most advanced techniques for interpolation of groundwater quality. In this research, IDW, Kriging methods were used for predicting spatial distribution of nitrate NO3 -. Data were taken from 21 wells study within eastern Damascus's Ghouta. After normalization of data, variograme was drawn. The less RSS was used, so Spherical model was the best. By using cross-validation and RMSE, the best method for interpolation was selected; Results showed that Kriging method is superior to IDW method. there is a big spatial dependence for nitrate variable that amounts to 2.2 %. Finally, maps of distribution of nitrate in groundwater were executed by Kriging method, in addition to executed maps that show goodness of groundwater for drinking and irrigation. Then it was prepared map of Probability Map of nitrate at threshold 50 mg/l.

Treated wastewater which comes from Adra Treatment Station is used for irrigating a part of the agricultural lands at Damascus Eastern Ghota after transferring it by a set of canals constructed for this purpose, Figure No. (1), its area estimated about 18000 hectares in addition to the adjacent areas for comparison object, the irrigated land by this project is forming the main study object of this research. This area is considered as the most affected area by the agricultural and industrial activities, increasing of population development due to its natural resources on one side and its location near the capital of Damascus on the other hand. The mean value of wastewater volume coming to the station has been estimated at 485000 m3 per day [1]. Therefore, this project is considered as one of the important projects which ensure an additional water resources for that area where water demand increased specifically against decreasing water resources of formerly years of aridity which considered as one of its reasons. From this point, this research is aimed at clearing out quality changes happened in the groundwater in the Eastern Ghota area which affected with irrigation by treated water, that was due to observing the quality changes of groundwater through a grid of wells and processing these analysis results by making maps, diagrams, and graphs; then comparing them with adjacent areas data, and to read out of these changes and reach knowledge of irrigation effect range by this water on the groundwater quality.
Biological Denitrification process in anoxic fluidized bed reactor is a simple way to eliminate nitrate – nitrogen that pollute the groundwater. In this method the biofilm (including organic bacteria) was cultured on the reactor bed particles, whi ch we chose granular activated carbon (1-3) mm. The raw water containing Nitrate ions and bacteria nutrients was pumped into the bottom of the reactor in an adequate velocity to fluidize the bed particles holding the biofilm. Ethanol and DeHydrogenated Sodium ortho phosphate was chosen as bacteria nutrients, Ethanol as carbonic nutrient and DeHydrogenated Sodium ortho phosphate as phosphoric nutrient.
The idea of spatial interpolation stands of great importance depending on the accuracy of estimated (Hydrogeological) parameters of this area, which reduces excessive efforts to reach the best Hydrogeological model of the region with as little as p ossible, thus reducing the overall cost of the project. The studied area is located within the Sin plain (the southern part of the JABLEH plain). A free layer of water, ranging between 1m and 30m in thickness. The study relied on groundwater level data, soil thickness and type in 339 wells. The importance of this research Lies in mapping the best spatial distribution of characteristics using spatial statistical methods The aim of the research is to estimate the Coefficient of Permeability of the aquifer layer and its effective thickness using the two methods of spatial statistics methods (Kriging and IDW) for Hydrogeological parameters in the southern part of the Jableh plain.
An available free groundwater were classified hydrochemical, and determined its fitting for general uses in a part of Damascus's Ghouta, which suffers water deficiency, where the study carried out on groundwater samples taken from 20 wells distri buted on all study area, the results show that groundwater classified hydrochemical as calcic water and non potable, and unsuitable for domestic consumption in broad part from study area, but arable and recommend to use in irrigation plants that have weak resistant to salinity, and not preferable to use in industry generally, but it's good for building and concrete works.
When estimating groundwater recharge in karstified and fractured aquifers it’s important to take into consideration, that they differ from porous aquifers by inhomogeneities of their hydraulic properties because of the great variance of infiltrati on properties in their rocks. In this research the process of groundwater recharge in Sher-mansour and Haramon areas in Antilebanon, where karstified and fractured aquifers are developed, was discussed. The portion of rainfall reaching the groundwater was calculated by applying water balance and groundwater level changes methods. In the first method the area was divided into surface zones and water balance components were calculated in each zone and the portion was estimated at 55.8% of rainfall in dry years like 2005-2006. In the second method the area was divided into subsurface zones and groundwater level fluctuations, storage coefficient and groundwater storage were calculated. The groundwater recharge varied between 17.5% in Haramon area and 80% in Sher Mansour area. The results showed that portions of rainfall reaching groundwater are not equal in the deferent subsurface zones and are deferent from those calculated by water balance method.
