“…Assessing water quality is now an inexhaustible attempt due to the vast and interrelating indices associated with water quality establishment based on international recommendations. with previous studies in this domain of water quality [11]. Result of electrical conductivity (EC) showed a mean EC value of 1.72 mg/l which is also a safe value in accordance with recommendation of the System Maintenance of River and public water pollution in Iraq (1998).…”

“…Vegetables take-up heavy metals and accumulate them in their edible and inedible parts in quantities high enough to cause clinical problems both to animals and human beings when they consume these metal-rich vegetables [10]. However, the consumption of heavy metal-contaminated vegetables can seriously deplete some essential nutrients in the body that are further responsible for decreasing immunological defenses, causes problems such as intrauterine growth retardation, impaired psycho-social functions, disabilities associated with malnutrition and high prevalence of upper gastrointestinal cancer rates [11,12].…”

The growing problem of water scarcity and absolute constraint in availability of fresh water for irrigation has made the use of waste water necessary for irrigation of agricultural fields. This practice represents an important route for transmission of heavy metals toxicity and pathogens that are of public health and environmental concern. The aim of this study was to assess the water quality index of river Getsi irrigation water in Kano metropolis and substantiate the suitability of the water for a safer irrigation. Results of this experiment have shown a mean biological oxygen demand of 80.43 mg/l, total dissolved solid of 20.63 mg, higher concentration of chromium (8.23 mg/l), and a statistically significant moderate relationship between electrical conductivity and total dissolved solid in the water (r = 0.556, p = 0.037 at 95% CI) using a Kendall's tau correlation statistics. It is concluded that, river Getsi is not unsafe for irrigational practices as the water indices were within recommended ranges, while the heavy metals were above and possible contamination may occur at a point in time. It is therefore recommended that, farmers should be educated on the need and importance of assessing the water quality before embarking on irrigational practices.

“…Landsat data has also been used to map salinity in estuarine systems. Kadhem, (2013) used ninety-six water samples collected from the Tigris River in Baghdad city and studied the chemical and physical parameters using GIS (spatial analysis). The results show high concentration of total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness, electric conductivity (EC), Sulphate (SO4), Iron (Fe) and Chloride (Cl), which indicate signs of deterioration.…”

Tigris and Euphrates are the two main rivers that supply the water demanded by all the cities in Iraq. However, due to contentious deterioration, monitoring the water quality of these two rivers has become a necessity. Hence, there is need for a study concerning water quality modelling using satellite data for the rivers of Iraq. The main objective of this study is to create a new simple and accurate algorithm for the extraction of water quality parameters for the rivers of Iraq using Landsat 5 satellite data as a cheap and effective method for the monitoring of polluted rivers in Iraq. The area of study is located in the central region of Iraq. The water quality data archive was acquired in August 2007, and it represents the daily values for six physical and chemical water parameters: Dissolved Oxygen DO2, Total dissolved solids TDS, pH value, Orthophosphate PO4, Electrical conductivity E.C and Water temperature T. The parameter data were compared with the reflectance values of Landsat 5 bands using different band combinations of empirical algorithms. The results of the analysis showed a significant correlation between these models and water quality parameters with R 2 > 0.83. The results of comparison between the predicted water quality parameters and those in the archive displayed more reliability for the models used, R 2 = (0.73-0.97). The results of spatial analysis demonstrated the possibility of using the Landsat's spectrum bands for the evaluation of the water quality for rivers in Iraq.

Kadhem (2013), Bağdat şehri Tigris nehrinden aldığı 96 su numunesinin fiziksel ve kimyasal parametrelerini CBS ve IDW interpolasyon tekniği kullanarak değerlendirmiş ve WHO (Dünya Sağlık Örgütü) standartlarına göre suyun tüketim amaçlı kullanımının uygun olmadığı sonucuna varmışlardır.…”

Sandıklı-Hüdai jeotermal sahası Afyonkarahisar ilindeki jeotermal sahalardan biridir. Sandıklı-Hüdai jeotermal sisteminde rezervuar kayacı kuvarsit ve kireçtaşları, ısı kaynağını ise Miyosen yaşlı Sandıklı volkanizması oluşturmaktadır. Yeraltısuyu örneklerinin hidrojeokimyasal analiz verilerinde görülen yüksek değerler, bu suların jeotermal sistem tarafından ısıtıldığını ve/veya jeotermal su karıştığını işaret etmektedir. Sandıklı-Hüdai jeotermal sahasına ait hidrojeokimyasal analiz sonuçları ArcGIS 10 programı kullanılarak veri tabanına işlenmiştir. Elde edilen T, pH, EC, Na + , K + , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , HCO 3-, Cl-, SO 4 2değerlerinin havza içerisindeki dağılımları IDW interpolasyon yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Hüdai jeotermal alanında bulunan jeotermal sular elde edilen T, SO 4 , Cl, Ca ve Mg tematik haritalarına göre genel olarak kuzeydoğuya doğru artış gösterirken, EC, Na, K ve HCO 3 tematik haritalarına göre çalışma alanı orta kesiminde daha yüksek değerler vermiştir.
