Abstract:
م اجراء فحوصات فيزيائية وكيميائية واحيائية لمياه الشرب في محطتي الحي والبشائر وعدد من المناطق التي تغذيها, شهريا للمدة من تشرين الاول 2013 الى شهر تموز 2014, عبر مراحل التصفية وصولا الى المنازل التي تقع على مسافات مختلفة عن مصدر التجهيز وبواقع نموذجين لكل | Physical, chemical and a biological tests were carried out and drinking water samples were collected from AL - Haay and AL - Bashaer water treatment plants and number of residential areas fed by these plants for period extended from October 2013 to July 2014, through the purification stages up to residential sites at different areas situated with various distances from the supplying source, two samples were taken monthly. Air temperature at sampling time was varied from 16°C to 42°C and from 10°C to 34°C, for water temperature at sampling time also. The results of pH values were within the allowable limits, ranging from 7.1in autumn to 8.1 in summer. For EC, the highest value recorded for raw water was in winter with 1338 µs/cm, while the lowest value was in spring with 920 µs/cm. The highest value recorded for drinking water was again in winter with 1330 µs/cm, and the lowest value was 910µs/cm in spring also. The highest value of turbidity recorded for raw water was in winter with 89 NTU and the lowest value was in spring with 26 NTU, while the highest mean value recorded for drinking water was 20 NTU again in winter and the lowest value was 1 NTU in spring. The study showed that the results of TDS values ware ranged from 622 mg/L in spring to 1024mg/L in winter. The highest value of residual chlorine was recorded in summer with 4.5 mg/L; the lowest value was zero mg/L in some of the farthest points of the plants. For sulfates, values were ranged from 289 mg/L in spring to 498.4 mg/L in winter. All the recorded values of chlorides ions for all water samples were within the allowable limits, its values ranged from 98mg/L in summer to156.3 mg/L in winter. For total hardness, the values were exceeding 500mg/L and allowable limits for Iraqi standard criteria. The highest value recorded for raw water was in winter with 520 mg/L and the lowest value was in summer with 351 mg/L, while the highest value recorded for drinking water was again in winter with 516mg/L and the lowest value was 337 mg/L in summer also. For calcium values ranged from 75 mg/L in summer to 135 mg/L in winter. The results of this study showed high levels of lead, cadmium and aluminum in most water samples which collected during study period compared with those that exceeded the acceptable limits provided from the quality control unit and which are considered to have adverse effects on health. For lead, values were found to vary from 0.0030 mg/l in summer to 0.16 mg/l in winter (higher acceptable limits is 0.01 mg/L). While in case of cadmium the values lied between 0.0014 mg/l in winter and 0.015 mg/l in summer (higher acceptable range is 0.0030). However, for aluminum these data were ranged from 0.0062 mg/l in raw water during spring to 0.29 mg/l in drinking water during spring also (higher acceptable range is 0.2). The current results showed an increased in the number of autotrophic bacteria, total coliform, fecal coliform, fecal streptococci, and E. coli during winter season in most study locations as compared to those of the other seasons for both water plants raw and drinking water while the FS values were less than those of other bacterial types for both water plants. The Total plat count results of drinking water were exceed 100 cell/ml, the allowable limit for drinking water, for some samples of both water plants. on the other hand, the TC, FC and E. coli exceeded zero cell/100ml, the allowable limits for drinking water, in many drinking water samples for both water plants
