The study includes physical, chemical and bacteriological measurements of raw and drinking water in Al-Khalidiyah district in Al-Anbar governorate at several areas which are (Al-Khalidiya Central, Al-Sadiqiya, Al-Madiq, Al-Shuhada neighborhood). The collection of samples began in February until April 2019. This study includes the conduct of physical measurements of (temperature, electrical conductivity, turbidity, suspended solids and dissolved solids) and chemical measurements of (pH and positive ions (calcium magnesium, sodium and potassium), negative ions (sulfates, chlorides, nitrates, alkalinity and total hardness) and bacteriological measurements (M\Plate count1) and (E. Coli).
The results showed that there are a variation in the values from the Iraqi and international standard limits, as there was an increase in electrical conductivity and the concentration of magnesium and sulfate. The rest of the properties did not exceed the limits of Iraqi and international standard. The results were also analyzed statistically using the SPSS statistical program. Direct and inverse correlations between the variables (water properties) were found, as well as the correlation between physical and chemical measurements of different water properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
