Radon concentrations in water are an important source of water pollution. The water quality in seven Karbala sites in Iraq was evaluated using five parameters: temperature (<i>T</i>), total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and salinity (<i>S</i>). The <sup>222</sup>Rn levels in the tap water samples were studied using a CR-39 detector. The concentrations of radon gas in the tap water samples were less than the accepted international limit of 11.1 Bq L<sup>–1</sup>, and the annual effective dose was less than the required international value of 1 mSv year<sup>–1</sup>. Therefore, the tap water used in all areas of the Karbala governorate is safe in terms of its <sup>222</sup>Rn content. Water temperatures in Karbala City are below the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) standard limit of 15°C, except for the Northern Drainage (Al-Shariea Site), where the temperature is above the limit because of the different intended sampling and the hot Iraqi environment. The TDS difference measured in tap water is greater than the water level limit of 500 mg L<sup>–1</sup> set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and CCME, and the measured pH values were within the standard ranges, 6.5–8.5 and 6.5–9, defined by the WHO and CCME, respectively.
