Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify the components of water wells in the western region of Saudi Arabia, using Raman spectroscopy. Water wells samples were collected from different areas, distances apart, and same in the depths. The samples were analyzed by LIRA 300 Raman spectrometer. The results showed that the samples contain different materials, beside the water, with different amounts; like: acids, aromatic molecules, salts, amides, alkynes, phenol, ester and sulfonamide.
