Abstract
Ground Water Quality of Areas Selected NE of Mousl City Used For Irrigration and Drinking Purposes
Highlights
Ground water quality is defined by the chemical constituents in the water and the chemical analysis data are helpful for determining the usefulness of ground water as a potable resource.The studied area is located 20 Km NE of Mosul city Fig. (1)
Richard and Wilcox classifications are used to show the suitability of ground water for irrigation. that most ground water samples falls in the field of doubtful to unsuitable for irrigation except samples 7, 8 and 9 which they are fell in the field of good to permissible for irrigation
Hydrochemical: Piper Diagram, (Hem. 1985) is used to illustrate the major ions composition of ground water samples Fig. (5). this diagram is useful for detecting changes or trends in ground water chemistry across an area or through time (Sanders 1998)
Summary
Ground water quality is defined by the chemical constituents in the water and the chemical analysis data are helpful for determining the usefulness of ground water as a potable resource.The studied area is located 20 Km NE of Mosul city Fig. (1). As ground water flows through sediments, metals such as iron and manganese are dissolved and may later be found in high concentrations in the water. The chemicals routinely measured to determine irrigation water quality follow: Electrical Conductivity (μmhos/cm), Chloride (Cl) ,Sodium (Na) ,Nitrate (NO3), Calcium (Ca) ,Carbonate (CO3) ,Magnesium (Mg) ,Bicarbonate (HCO3) Sulfate (SO4)[1].
