الملخص EN

The study aims to identify the change in the qualitative characteristics of surface water in Basra Governorate (Rivers and marshes water projects), after a series of hydrological and morphometric changes to the water system located in the far south of Iraq.

Then, water samples were collected from various sites: The Tigris and Euphrates rivers (within the boundaries of Basra governorate), Al-Sweib, Al-Shafi, and Shatt Al-Arab in the locations of Al-Hartha, Al-Maqal, Abu Al-Khasib, Al-Siba, Al-Faw, Hor Al-Hammar (East Zone), Al-Bada'a canal, Ketiban canal, general estuary, and Shatt Al-Basra within the lowest islands and for laboratory analysis for four seasons for the years 2018-2019.

The study showed many changes in the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of water between the year 2018, which was characterized by unprecedented water scarcity, and the beginning of the year 2019, which was characterized by high discharges and showed a spatial and seasonal change in the hydrochemical characteristics of rivers, marshes, and water projects in the study area.
