A Study of Inorganic Chemical Metals for Raw and Drinking Water of Central Baquba Liquefier Station

Abstract

This study has achieved to determine the concentrations of inorganic chemical metals for rawand clean water of Baquba liquefier station (the largest unit which provides the city withdrinking water) by taking water samples from the station through (April 2009) till (February2010), these analysis included the estimation of pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolvedsalts, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, chloride, sulfate, sodium, potassium and aluminum.The clean water results has compared with the world health organization standards todetermine any access in these metals concentrations that are anticipated to produce adversehealth effects following long-term exposure.All the final results of water samples reinforce the fact that has accepted chemical andphysical properties except turbidity, with simple difference in some chemical concentrationsall over the experimental period, as well as, it is observed that there is no any qualitativetreatment of total hardness for raw water in the station.Also, the statistical analysis emphasize no significant differences between raw and cleanwater except turbidity with the presence of significant differences for most parameters all overmonths with significant positive relation between water temperature and both turbidity andtotal dissolved salts and negative relation between total dissolved salts and the raining rates.
