In this current study, groundwater quality is the main hydrological problem. The study aims to define the groundwater quality in the Assessment and Evaluation of Ground water Quality in North East Wadi Halfa, Northern State, Sudan. Physical, chemical and biological analyses were carried out on 10 water samples collected from the existing wells. For investigating different cations and anions the titration, spectrophotometer and flame photometer were used. Chemical analysis shows high concentration of sulfates and nitrates. The hydrochemical classification of groundwater explained for groups: (Na+ + K+), HCO3– water, (Na+ + K+), (SO++ + Cl-) water, (Ca++ + Mg++), HCO3 – water and (Ca++ + Mg++), (SO++ + Cl-) water. Bacteriological analysis was made for 10 samples; water is free of contamination. A comparison has been made between two-water analysis in 1991 and 2019, as a result decreasing in the salts concentration in the latter. Therefore, according to the results of this study, it is recommended and guided for further pumping and continuous using of the water well in agriculture purposes.
