STUDY OF THE VALIDITY OF SOME WATER WELLS IN ANBAR GOVERNORATE FOR HUMAN AND AGRICULTURAL USES

Abstract

Abstract: The study consists of conducting the physical and chemical tests on wells water for the study region in Anbar governorate from Qaim to Falloja city. The samplings were made on stages, started on October, 2008 and ended in March , 2010. The physical tests consist of (temperature, conductivity, turbidity, suspended sediments , dissolved solid) while the chemical tests consist of (pH, cations (calcium , magnesium , sodium and potassium), anions (sulphate ,pecarbonate , sulphide and chloride)) and Some trace elements like Fe , Cu , Mn and Zn were also determined . The analysis shows varitey of results compared with the International and Iraqi standards. The tests results show high values of anions and cations. Also there is a small increase in Manganease value. The study concluded that the well water is not suitable for human use without treatment, but it is suitable for agricultural & irriagation uses especially for crops that bear high salinity in all of the study region .
