The geochemical Model MINTEQ was used to estimate metal ion-activities in collected soils and water samples. The model was also used to determine whether the metals are present as complex species or as simple ion and to examine the solid phases that might control metal-ion solubility. The result indicated that, the studied drains have high salinity content hazard, while the irrigation water samples were found to be of moderated salinity. Additionally, drainage water exceeded the permissible limits, while levels of the irrigation water were within permissible limits. Analysis of plant grown in the studied area showed levels of Al, Cu, Fe and Mn that exceeded the permissible limits.
