“…Deterioration of water quality in surface waters is caused primarily by the development of industry and agriculture, and secondly by population growth [26], especially in lower-middle countries, which is why modelling programs are constantly being improved and widely used [33; 23]. They are effective scientific tools for environmental impact assessment [13; 24] and facilitates decision-making regarding the improvement of water resource management [14].…”

For the simulation of hydrodynamic changes and pollutant dispersion in the study area, an appropriate model was applied using the DHI series software. Flows were modelled using the hydrodynamic model and the hydrological model, and water quality was modelled using MIKE 11 ECO LAB. The paper presents a simulation for the water quality of the Bahlui River. Mike 11 contains a GIS map and simulation editors. Water quality parameters such as temperature, dissolved oxygen and biochemical oxygen demand were simulated. Modelling results can be used as a planning tool to help decision makers during different phases.

“…The water quality state can be very poor (the index value of between 0 and 25), poor (25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30), medium (50-70), good (70-90), and very good (90-100) (Nada et al, 2016;Patang et al, 2018;Egbueri, 2022;Patel et al, 2023). According to Iraqi water quality standard limits and using the prior equation, the monthly treated WQI was calculated using weighted arithmetic water quality index method (WAWQI).…”

Drinking water treatment reduces or eliminates certain health risks and ensures appropriate water quality by removing physical, chemical, and biological pollutants. The treatment process's increased need for energy, chemicals, and technological inputs raises the expense of producing water as well as its secondary environmental effects. The goal of this research is to use the water quality index (WQI) and life cycle assessment (LCA) to determine and assess the environmental effects of the Al-Hashimiyah water treatment plant (WTP) in Babylon City, Iraq. The water quality index was employed as a criterion for categorizing and treating water in accordance with fundamental water characterization variables using a weighted arithmetic index technique. The LCA was supported by the Eco-Indicator 99 database and SimaPro 7.0 software. What makes this study unusual is the identification of two extra functional units related to decontamination, beyond the usual one cubic meter treated water. Samples of treated and raw water were gathered during a 25-month period, from March 2022 to March 2023, and were regularly tested. The results demonstrated that all chemical and physical characteristics (for both raw and processed water) met Iraqi criteria, with the exception of total suspended particles and electrical conductivity. According to LCA studies, certain environmental consequences grow as pollutant concentrations drop. Due to this, a more thorough analysis of the environmental performance of water treatment facilities is now required.

“…Salem et al, 2018). Limited studies applied both approaches (WQI and statistical tools) for the Nile River and its canal system (Amaal M Abdel‐Satar et al, 2017; Abdullah & Hussona, 2014; El‐Feky et al, 2018; El‐Tohamy et al, 2018; Mostafa & Peters, 2016; Nada et al, 2016). Water quality conditions of the Nile change spatially according to the pollution sources.…”

This research was initiated to assess and manage water quality status of fourteen surface drinking water intakes in El‐Beheira Governorate, Egypt. The study was conducted on four main branches of water resources in the governorate. Three water quality indices (WQIs) and two multivariate statistical techniques were applied, based on the Egyptian guidelines for the Nile River. Water quality records were collected for two successive years, 2014 and 2015, and were analyzed by descriptive statistics. The results revealed the critical water quality status of the four branches at the fourteen intakes. The multivariate statistical techniques returned the critical water quality conditions to the agricultural drainage and the domestic wastewater discharges. In addition, a new software application was developed to manage WQIs calculation. An urgent water quality monitoring and assessment system should be initiated for the drinking water resources all over Egypt, based on the developed water quality assessment techniques of this study. Practitioner points Three different WQIs and two different statistics tools were applied. Critical water quality status for the investigated surface drinking water intakes was reported. Agricultural drainage then domestic effluents are the main pollution sources. A new software application was developed to calculate WQIs to support decision makers.
