Seasonal samples were taken from four selected stations on the Habbaniya lake, middle of Iraq during 1997, to study six heavy metals (Cu, Cd, Pb, Ni, Mn, and Zn), in water suspended particles, sediments and aquatic plants. Five plant species were collected, represented the most dominant in the lake, namely Myriophyllum verticillatum, Potamogeton crispus, P. pectinatus, Ceratophyllum demersum and Vallisnaria spiralis . Zn had the highest concentration among the studied metals in filtered water and suspended particles with an average of 4.08 w g/l and 26088 w g/g, respectively. Whereas, Mn had the highest in the sediments and all studied aquatic plants, which ranged between 213.3- 2027 w g/g and 100-1725 w g/g, respectively, Meanwhile, Cd had the lowest concentration in all studied samples.
