Abstract
The research cared out to calculate the heavy metals deposition for the soil of the Blue Nile along the edges of two sides, starting from the Sudan Ethiopia border end to the Khartoum state in Tuti Island. The samples were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) technique. The results show that there is a significant difference for most of the concentration of the elements deposition on two sides of the Blue Nile outside of Nile channel for that area which covered by water after the overflow. Heavy metals Cr, Fe, Co, Cu, and Zn concentration deposition are increased in the direction of the water to Khartoum, while Ni and Pb concentrations are decreased in the same direction. K, Ca, Ti, Mn, Br, Rb, Sr, and Zr heavy metal concentrations are varied but in general remains equals.
Highlights
The most critical springs of water for every single living thing are the rivers, as well as lakes, oceans, water catchments and underground water
River Nile form the biggest streams on the planet and it is quite long in such away that it is defenseless to numerous contaminations inside the capital Khartoum, at the juncture of the White Nile and Blue Nile where it finds numerous contamination activities
The maximum flow of the Blue Nile occur in rainy season carry an amount of soil from the Ethiopian Highlands and carry it downstream as a dummy, makes the water dark brown or almost black (Dinknesh, 2015)
Summary
The most critical springs of water for every single living thing are the rivers, as well as lakes, oceans, water catchments and underground water. There for a need for re-estimate the heavy metals in the Blue Nile adjacent soil sediment to ensure environmental sustainability for human and animal (Senesi, 1999; Saad, 2017).
