耶尔穆克盆地是一个跨界共享盆地。在约旦和叙利亚之间。只有1426公里2流域总面积(2 7,242公里)位于约旦境内。研究区域的海拔高度从南部的1150多米到西北部的低于海平面200米左右不等。在耶尔穆克盆地西部，上含水层钾对地下水的污染是普遍存在的。钾的浓度在0 ~ 163 mg/l之间，平均为7 mg/l。本研究旨在评价该盆地上部含水层的钾离子浓度，预测该离子的未来潜力，并确定这些浓度是否符合安全范围。主要数据来自水利灌溉部(MWI)。对Al Balqa'并与约旦应用大学实验室的标准进行了比较。 The spatial and temporal changes of potassium were studied as a pollution indicator. Pollution of groundwater level maps were generated using a Geostatistical program GS+ version 5.1, with the Kriging interpolation method. It was concluded that an increase in potassium concentrations for the decade ahead (2020) was noticed. But the tremendous the rise between 2020 - 2030, can be either attributed to intensive cultivation which enhances use of organic and chemical fertilizers, where both are sources of potassium, or to over abstraction of groundwater which enhances potassium along with other pollutants concentrations in groundwater of Yarmouk Basin upper aquifer.
