Chemical and Physical Water Characterizations in Alhfar Drainage in Al-Diwaniyah City of Iraq

EasyChair Preprint 14922

Abstract

The chemical and physical characteristics of the eastern drain of the Euphrates River (Al-Hafar) at AL-Diwaniyah\Iraq was studied for three different sites during summer and winter seasons. The water characteristics including: temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved salts, turbidity, total hardness, chloride, calcium, magnesium, and heavy metals, zinc, chromium, zinc, cadmium was measured using (Ph,E.C,TDS,Turb) calibration using standard solutions and (T.H,Mg,Cl) process by plastering EDTA, HCL, and Agno3 solutions with several evidence (APHA, 2003). The results showed, the highest value of 380 in the third site in the winter. The lowest value for the first site in winter is 290. The study on the chemical and physical properties of water in Alhfar Drainage in Al-Diwaniyah City of Iraq investigated the seasonal variations and key parameters affecting water quality. The research identified fluctuations in parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, turbidity, chloride, calcium, magnesium, lead, and cadmium concentrations at three different sites during summer and winter seasons. During summer, higher values of electrical conductivity and salt rates were observed, attributed to factors like high temperatures, evaporation, and human activities. In contrast, winter showed lower values due to increased rainfall and dilution effects. The study highlighted the impact of agricultural and industrial activities on water quality, emphasizing the presence of heavy metals like lead and cadmium as potential risks to human health and the environment. Overall, the findings underscored the importance of proper waste management, pollution control measures, continuous monitoring, and sustainable water management practices to ensure the suitability of water resources for various uses in Al-Diwaniyah City.
