THE IMPACT OF UNDERGRAUND WATERS AND SULPHIDE WATERS ON THE PROPERTIES OF EUPHRATES FROM SYRIAN BORDERS TO HEET IN ANBAR GOVERNORATE

Abstract

The area of study starts from the entrance of Euphrates river at the IraqiSyrian boarder line to Heet city. It involves the influence of springs andunderground waters along the river stream on water quality.
