Abstract :
It is a well-known fact Libya is a desert and
semidesert, has no significant perennial watercourses
such as revers, or drinkable lucks, where Less than 2
percent of the country receives enough rainfall for settled
agriculture. In the coastal lowlands and surrounded (less
than ten percent of Libyan area), where 95 percent of the
population are living (30), The climate is warm summers.
The summer temperature in the northern coast between
26° C - 40° C and in desert interior is characterized by
very hot summers between 40° C and 46° C and extreme
diurnal temperature ranges. More than 97 % of Libyan
population using groundwater for drinking, domestic and
agriculture watering by digging wells. Due to increase of
population last 50 years, the demand of groundwater is
increased. On other side the ground water is suffering of
human excessive use where the ground water become very
deep ( 60 – 350 meter deep) , where many areas polluted
by several minerals ions dissolved from deep rocks.The
aim of this study is to evaluate and determine the
concentration of fluoride ion in ground water at from 60
to 260 meter water well deep and focus on spatial
distribution of fluoride in Aljfarh region and to discuss
the geostatistical contamination and its effecting in
fluoride generation and the relationship between excess
consuming fluoride and the heath risk assessment via oral
and dermal route exposure reveals that the consumers in
majority of the region are at considerable noncarcinogenic at higher risk on children and adults. Also
finding and helpful in identifying the affected areas at this
study area and recommend that the safer options of
drinking water should be adopted
