Abstract

The research investigation phases are presented, as follows: Literature review in the field of water quality  Water sampling and data assembly  NWQIS and visualizing information  Producing thematic maps  Conclusions and recommendations LITERATURE REVIEWLiterature in the field of water quality was reviewed, from which it was clear that many researchers investigated the water quality. Among them, for example are, as follows: Sanders (1998) stated that the water quality is a limiting factor for being used in different purposes.  Lu, Zhi Chen and Wenquan Liu (2014) developed a GIS-eutrophication assessment module and a graphical user interface (GUI). It integrates fuzzy risk calculation and heavy metal risk evaluation. It presents the results as color-coded maps indicating risk levels.
