“…They attributed that to an increase in the levels of lead, iron, zinc and turbidity. Also, [33] observed that WQI ranged from marginal in the Al-Kriat area to poor near the Diyala Bridge area. Because of the increase in values of total nitrogen, water temperature and BOD5.…”

The present study aims to assess the effect of the Tharthar Canal as an outlet canal that feeds back from the Tharthar Lake on the quality of the Tigris water. Utilizing a Canadian Water Quality Index (CCME-WQI) for the protection of aquatic life Water samples were obtained every month from January to December of 2020. Six different sites were selected: four along the Tigris River and two on the Tharthar Canal. Seven ecological parameters were used to assess water quality depending on importance and availability: water temperature, Water Temperature, Turbidity, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), pH, Nitrate (NO3-) and Phosphate ( . The study demonstrated that the water quality of the Tharthr canal ranked as a fair class, whereas that of the main river fluctuated from marginal class before the confluence area to fair class downstream of the confluence. Also, three variables, including water temperature, turbidity, and total dissolved solids, were not meeting water quality standards.

“…These stations were selected to assess the chemical and biological testing. Eleven water quality indicators from 2011 to 2013 were analyzed monthly to determine the water's current quality in order to achieve the study's goal [2][3][4][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

“…Surface water quality is a very delicate subject that is indispensable for long-term economic growth, social welfare and environmental sustainability. Deteriorating water quality happened between the points of supply and consumption due to a lot of factors such as industrial production, power generation, home and agricultural usage [2][3][4][5][6][7]. As a case study, Tigris River in Iraq turned out to be a typical example of deteriorating water quality.…”

“…The river flows from north to south across the entirety of Iraq over a distance of around 1,415 km. The Tigris River's salinity varies from 280 ppm at the Iraq-Turkey border in the northwest to 1800 ppm below Basra in the south of Iraq [4,[8][9][10][11]. Water quality index (WQI) functions in obtaining a single value for the water quality from a source of physical, chemical and biological parameters by combining the collection of parameters and their concentrations, which in turn offers a thorough justification of the water quality and suitability for various uses, including drinking, irrigation, and industrial [1,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

Water quality index (WQI) is a simplified and explicable number calcuated from data on tested prameters in water. In this study, two methods for calculating water quality index (WQI) were used to assess the water quality of Tigris River using monthly data from 2011 to 2013. The data were collected at four different gauging stations. Two gauing stations are located on Tigris River at upstream in Mosul city while the other two downstream gauging stations are located on Tigris River at downstream in Al-Amarah city. The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment’s (CCME WQI) and Horton (Horton’s WQI) methods were applied to assess the water quality of Tigris River at the selected stations. The data used in the assessment included several parameters such as calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), potassium (K), chloride (Cl), sulfate (SO4), bicarbonate (HCO3), nitrate (NO3), total dissolved solid (TDS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) and electric conductivity (EC). According to the values of CCME WQI mehod, the quality of Tigris River in Mosul city was at a good level (the values of WQI were varied from 83 to 94) while it and falls under the marginal category in Al-Amarah city (the values were varied from varied from 52 to 59). However, the application of Horton’s WQI method showed that the quality of Tigris River in Mosul city was fluctuated from excellent to good (values of WQI varied from 24 to 80 per month) while it was poor in Al-Amarah city (values of WQI varied from 74 to 160 per month). In conclusion, the Horton’s WQI method was found more relastic when used to assess the water quality of Tigris River compared with CCME WQI method.

“…Therefore, any sample of water can show different levels of pollution by different parameters measured (41). Some of physicochemical parameters like pH and dissolved oxygen may define the integrity of water ecosystem by comparison of parameters with water quality standards or guidelines (7,29). Some of organic pollution indicators such as dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand were using to estimate the pollution level of Al-Habbaniya lake in Iraq (38).…”

The aim of this study is to evaluate the water quality of Tigris river by measuring the physicochemical parameters of the river within Baghdad city in Iraq from the period of February 2017 to February 2018. Four sites were selected from upreach, reach and downreach. Temperature of air and water, pH, electrical conductivity, salinity and water flow were measured in the field, While, the laboratory measurements included total dissolved substances (TDS), total suspended substances (TSS), turbidity, nutrients (nitrite, nitrate and phosphate), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved oxygen (DO), organic matter and total organic carbon (TOC), these parameters were used to indicate the pollution of Tigris River ecosystem. The results show that all parameters variation in both seasons (wet and dry), which has led to a deterioration in water quality. A higher level of contamination was recorded at reach sites (Al-Sarrafia Bridge and Al-Shuhada Bridge) in contrast to other sites (Al-Muthanna Bridge and Al-Dora Bridge). This indicates that the Tigris river in the middle of Baghdad city is more polluted due to the anthropogenic impacts.
