Abstract AR
المياه الجوفية لحوض نهر الزاب الصغير ذات طبيعة قلوية وأيونات الكالسيوم و المغنيسيوم و البايكاربونات والكبريتات هي الايونات الرئيسية و يعتبر ايون النترات هو المغذي الرئيس.
العوامل الرئيسية التي تحكم كيمياء المياه الجوفية في الحوض هي تجوية الصخور، واذابة/ ترسيب المعادن و تبادل الأيونات.
وفقا للمعايير المحلية و العالمية، فإن المياه الجوفية للعينات المدروسة تعد غير صالحة لشرب الإنسان حيث يزيد تركيز الرصاص عن الحد الطبيعي لمعظم العينات.
و هناك ايضا بعض المتغيرات النوعية للمياه تزيد عن الحدود المسموحة لشرب الانسان لبعض العينات.
من ناحية اخرى اظهرت نتائج تقييم نوعية المياه أن المياه الجوفية للآبار المدروسة ملائمة للري وشرب المواشي.
Abstract EN
A total of eighteen groundwater samples and two spring samples were collected from the Iraqi part of the Lesser Zab River Basin (LZRB) and analyzed for physicochemical parameters major, minor, nutrients ions, and trace elements as Si, Fe, Al, Mn, Li, Sr, Br, Ba, B, Pb, Zn, Cr, V, Cu, Co, Ni, As, Se, Mo, Cd, Sb, and U.
The chemical analyses show that the groundwater of the LZRB is alkaline, and the Ca2+, Mg2+, HCO3, and SO4² are the major contributing ions, and the NO is the major nutrient.
The major governing factors of groundwater chemistry in the basin are rock weathering, dissolution/precipitation of minerals, and ion exchange.
Based on international and Iraqi water quality standards, all groundwater samples are undrinkable for a human being.
Whereas, Pb exceeds the standard limit for most samples.
Some other water quality parameters are exceeding the prescribed limits for some samples.
Based on relevant parameters and classification, all samples are suitable, with certain qualifications, for irrigation and livestock watering.
