This research deals with the suitability of groundwater for irrigation purposes in the Qasr Al-Akhyar area overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, through field work that was carried out by collecting water samples for some groundwater wells in the Qasr Al-Akhyar area, with a number of 19 wells, so that the samples are representative of groundwater in the region to a large extent. The necessary chemical analyzes were conducted to determine the suitability of this water for agricultural irrigation purposes. These analyzes included the analysis of sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg), for the purpose of determining the percentage of sodium and the rate of adsorption of sodium to determine the extent of The validity of this water for irrigation purposes, where the specifications of the water used in irrigation work is a key factor in agriculture, because of its important impact on the growth and quality of agricultural products irrigated using this groundwater. This study concluded that the groundwater in the area is suitable for irrigation and agriculture purposes, as the lowest sodium and sodium adsorption rate were in well No. 13 and their value was (30.50%, 1.67%) respectively, and the highest sodium and sodium adsorption rate were in well No. 6 and their value was (58.67%, 4.85%) respectively, and all previous values are within the permissible limits. This study also recommends the necessity of periodic follow-up to assess the quality of groundwater by taking samples and conducting the necessary analyzes to ensure that the water is suitable for use in irrigation and agriculture
