Abstract:
The research study some physical and chemical properties of the Tigris
River water backside Kut dam and evaluated it for drinking, irrigation ,
industrial purposes, construction and construction for the period (2012-
2013), and months (October, November, December) for the year (2015)
and that due to the lack of data for the rest of the year and not available
for the year (2014), through the analysis of the properties results it
found that there is a variation within months per year, as well as between
the annual average for the three years, and the Tigris water in the backside
of the Kut dam within the class (C3) which is a high-salinity water and
cannot be used without continuous drainage, except for the month of
November for the year (2013) it was within the class (C4) which is a very
high salinity water and it’s not suitable for irrigation except crops of high
endurance of salinity and soil needs to continuous drainage operations
large and huge care, because recording the highest ratios value (TDS, EC )
in this month, and the(PH) value was within the permissible limits for
drinking, irrigation and industrial purposes where it took alkaline or
basal side during the duration of the search. The value of the determinants
(TDS), sodium, potassium and nitrates for the three years were within the
permissible limits for drinking purposes. I addition, the value of chlorides
and carbonates for the three years were within the permissible limits for
drinking and irrigation, while fluctuated the rest of the values of items
between the permitted and non-permitted to be used for these purposes.
Also, it noted that calcium, sodium, magnesium and chlorides for the three
years were within the permissible limits for the purposes of building and
construction, while the usage of water for Industrial purposes of the
affecting elements it found that the usage of water for the paper industry
bleaching and non- bleaching is not permitted for the duration of the
search, while fluctuated between allowed and not allowed to use for the
rest of the industries.
