In the present study, Jhanjira Upper site of the River Kabul was consider for exploring of the heavy metals concentration. The results obtained from the current study were in the range of Zn 1.11-1.97 ppm; Cu 1.05-1.63 ppm; Cd 0.11-0.89 ppm; Pb 0.07-1.07 ppm; Cr 0.01-0.11 ppm and Mn 0.02-0.28 ppm respectively. Cd, Cd, Pb, Cr were found exceeding the permissible lmites recommended by the WHO; Zn 5.0 ppm, Cu 0.05 ppm, Cd 0.05 ppm, Pb 0.05 ppm, Cr 0.05 ppm, Mn 50-70 ppm respectively. This study reviled that the water quality of this point in not suitable for cattles, agricultural and human use.
