Abstract

One of the most significant environmental problems on the globe is still the presence of contaminants in natural water. This is due to a significant rise in freshwater demand and a water crisis in arid and semiarid regions, driven by population growth, urbanization, industrialization, and agricultural activities. The current study’s objective was to evaluate the water quality adequacy both upstream and downstream of the Haditha Dam in the western region of Iraq. In this study, 14 parameters were assessed and examined to evaluate the water quality on both sides of the Haditha Dam (upstream & downstream), including potassium K, carbonate CO3, bicarbonate HCO3, chloride Cl, sulfate SO4, calcium ca, nitrate NO3, sodium Na, magnesium Mg, electrical conductivity EC, pH, total soluble salts TSS, hydrogen sulfide H2S, and total hardness. This research looks at data on water quality that were gathered from both banks of the Euphrates River during four years by collecting ninety-six samples. The established methods were applied to the parameters under examination. The outcomes were contrasted with The World Health Organization (WHO) and Iraqi water quality criteria. This research aids in the strategic and prudent management of water resources, potentially utilizing them for drinking water and agriculture. Data analysis indicates that all chemical constituents comply with Iraqi water quality regulations.
