Abstract

This study is conducted to assess the water quality index (WQI) of the Diyala and Tigris River confluence region south of Baghdad (Al-Tuwaitha), based on the Weighted Arithmetic method. Sixteen samples of water were collected from different location in the region through two periods 5/11/2021 and 13/3/2022. Water quality parameters such as (PH, EC, TDS, TH, Ca, Mg, Cl, Turbidity, ALK, SO4, HCO3, Na, and K) were used to evaluate WQI in the study area. The final results showed that the water was not suitable for drinking due to the high concentration of water quality parameters. In the 5 November 2021, the water quality in the study area was classified into (good, poor, very poor, and polluted) where the percentages of the above classes were 4%, 6%, 39%, and 51% respectively, while the percentages for the season 13thMarch 2022 were 1%, 41%, and 58% with very poor, polluted, and very polluted class, respectively. The water was not suitable for drinking due to the high concentration of water quality parameters in most locations in the study area. There are many sources of pollution in the region that dump their harmful waste into the river, which led to increase the concentrations of water quality parameters in most locations of study area.

基于加权算法的迪亚拉河与底格里斯河汇流区水质评价

本文采用加权算法对巴格达以南迪亚拉河与底格里斯河汇合处(Al-Tuwaitha)水质指数进行了评价。在2021年5月11日和2022年3月13日两个时期，从该地区的不同地点收集了16个水样。采用PH、EC、TDS、TH、Ca、Mg、Cl、浊度、ALK、SO4、HCO3、Na、K等水质参数评价研究区WQI。最终结果表明，由于水质参数浓度过高，水质不适合饮用。2021年11月5日，研究区水质分为好、差、极差、污染4个等级，以上等级所占比例分别为4%、6%、39%、51%;2022年3月13日，研究区水质所占比例分别为1%、41%、58%，为极差、污染、严重污染。研究区大部分地点水质参数浓度较高，不适合饮用。区域内污染源较多，将有害废弃物排入河道，导致研究区大部分地点水质参数浓度升高。
