Abstract : In the last 15 years , Wadi Bani Malik is becoming a highly polluted area due to the disposal of sewage water tanks in Al-Musk area. This area subjected to environmental hazard, and groundwater is the most vulnerable by the pollution. Due to the absence of the groundwater pollution investigation and the complex condition of the contamination in Wadi Bani Malik; precisely no study had conducted to fully explain the real condition and the vulnerability of the groundwater. Groundwater level measurement ,water samples in 31 wells and 21 soil samples were taken from the study area for analysis. The degree of pollution can be recognized from the analysis of the toxic and trace elements. The concentration of Sulfur was recorded as the most high rate of concentration in groundwater, with values ranging from 2380 to 38 mg/l. Groundwater and solute transport model were conducted to investigate how far and how long the contaminants will travel through the groundwater. The general conclusion predicts the movement of the contaminations in the groundwater from the starting day of installation of the land fill site, that is the plume will cut only about 16 – 20 km in 40 years. By that time, about less than 30 % of the concentration in groundwater will be diluted. However, It is difficult to fully explain the real condition of the concentration rate of change in Al-Musk area towards the groundwater. This is because during the time between 2000 and 2011, the pollution was considered as continuous source but after that the disposal of sewage tanks in Al-Musk lake manly has stopped. So the behavior of the lake now is defined as discontinues point source function.
