The problem of pollutants in drinking water networks is neglected in many places all over the developing countries. This problem is normally caused by either direct pollution source such as organic carbon, or from the maceration pollutants of network materials. The heavy metals in the network facilities and the DOC from the wastewater leakage on the formation of toxic by-product in the water network and the rate of halogenated hydrocarbons formation in the drinking water network was studied. Results showed that water has the same constituents of pollutants similar to that before its being stored for relatively long periods. The results showed also that the trend of halogenated hydrocarbons formation is correlated, but not restricted, to the availability of total organic carbons. The amount of CCl2Br and CClBr2 were the highest, which indicate that most of the halogens are originated from natural sources. The Strontium values where the most dominant in all sampling points followed by Barium and Boron, which are the most abundant trace metals normally found in the groundwater in Tulkarm area

The addition ot sodium chloride, to provide concentrations of 1.0 and 1.3?, to the drinking water of pregnant ewes caused distress at parturition to some of the ewes and neonatal mortalities in their lambs. The effects were more evident in older sheep (aged 7 years) than in younger (3-year-old) animals and were associated, in general, with ewes which carried twin lambs. Progesterone levels in the blood plasma of sheep were higher in twin-bearing ewes than in ewes with single lambs, both for control ewes drinking fresh water and for ewes drinking saline. Drinking 1.3% saline augmented the increase in progesterone levels in older ewes bearing twins. Cortisol levels were normal in all ewes.Plasma levels of potassium and chloride were significantly higher and calcium and magnesium levels lower in pregnant ewes which received saline.It is suggested that the adverse effects of salt water ingestion in twin-bearing pregnant ewes could be due to an excessive retention of potassium and chloride, brought about by a disturbance of normal sodium homeostatic mechanisms associated with the pregnant state of the animals.
