Heavy metals pollution is common problem in many lakes of Egypt, so this research aimed to assess this problem in Lake Malaha. Twenty-four samples taken from water and sediments of the lagoons of Lake Malaha. The water samples were collected and preserved by storing in acid-washed polyethylene bottles, sediment samples were collected and then kept in cleaned plastic bags and chilled on ice box. The chemical analysis for either water samples or sediment samples was assessed. The measured metals were Cr, Fe, Cd, and Zn, Ba and Pb. The obtained results showed that all concentrations of the measured heavy metals were within the permissible limits, this motivates us to maintain the lake and manage it in a good environmental manner and this will be a benefit for increasing fisheries and maintain biodiversity.
