Some of The Physico-Chemical Properties of Yaychi Region Wells And Their Suitability For Human and Animal Use

Abstract

Groundwater is one of the important sources of providing the human with water for drinking and other purposes. In Iraq, most of the agricultural land far from surface water sources, which forced these farmers to use groundwater wells as a source to cover the needs of the water and uses for different households. Hence, the ground water is a viable solution to provide drinking water. This study aims to show the extended validity of the ground water of six wells in Yaychi Region for various human and animal uses by compared some of their chemical and physical properties with World Health Organization (WHO). Physico-chemical parameters were analyzed for six wells. The statistical SPSS program used for the statistical analysis of the characteristics, the positive relationship (R) between some characteristics be seen such as calcium and total hardness = (0.952), EC and hardness =(0.985), SO4-2 and hardness and pH =(0.938), EC and SO4-2 =(0.997), SO4-2 and TDS =(0.976), EC and TDS =(0.982), EC and Ca +2 =(0.938) and between Ca +2 and SO4-2 =(0.950).
