Evaluating the qualitative characteristics of water due to sources of environmental pollution in the Jisr area (Al-Mada'in District)

Abstract

Our research dealt with evaluating the qualitative characteristics of water due to sources of pollutants in the Jisr area, through discussing and analyzing the sources of that pollution, whether natural (climate elements and characteristics of water resources) or human (sources of agricultural pollution, civil and industrial pollution), as is evident through the research. What follows

Natural and human factors affected the chemical and physical characteristics of the water in the area of the bridge directly and indirectly, leading to its pollution. As for the climatic characteristics, their influence increased in summer than in winter, as the rise in temperature works to raise evaporation rates and increase the speed of dry winds with no or fluctuation. Rainfall. As for the characteristics of the water resources in the research area (surface and groundwater), they also contributed to the pollution of agricultural soil, as some of this water contained high concentrations of chemical elements harmful to the soil for most of the sites studied according to international and Iraqi standards.

It is clear through field research that the wastewater is not treated properly, especially in the Rustamiya station, which throws its waste water into the Diyala River, causing water pollution to the river, which in turn is used to irrigate agricultural lands. Through the above, we confirm the validity of the hypothesis that the natural sources of pollution Humanity has the greatest impact on increasing the concentration of pollutants in some areas rather than others.
