The effect Musayyib thermal power station waste water on some physical and chemical properties of the Euphrates River water

Abstract

This research deals with analyzing for samples from Euphrates River before and after the power plant of Mussaibe. Standard methods are used to find electric conductivity, PH, turbidity, hardness, chloride, alkality, total suspended solid and total solid.The study takes twelve months during 2009, such that one sample was taken in the first day of the month represents the monthly value. The samples were taken from Euphrates river before the plant and after the the plant by 50m, 200m, 500m and 1000m from outflow of the plant.The study shows the effect of the plant on the properties that taken in the study. The study contains also effect the plant on the irrigation water properties (electric conductivity, total solid)
