The present work used ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma/Optical Emission Spectrometry) and SSNTDs (Solid-State Nuclear Track Detectors) to evaluate boron quantities in 9 water well samples collected from various places in Basrah governorate's south. Boron concentrations in the ICP-OES method ranged from (4.3 - 9.3) mg/L, with an average value of 6.493 mg/L. In the SSNTDs, boron concentrations ranged from (4.8 - 9.8) mg/L, with an average value of 6.766 mg/L. Results obtained from water well samples using ICP/OES methods, SSNTDs respectively exceed the permissible limits of 5.0 mg/L in these regions.
