Comparative study to some microbial and physiochemical parameters between al-Kufa and al-Manathera water before and after treatment

Abstract EN

The present study aimed to compare some microbial and Physiochemical parameters of Al-Kufa and Al-Manathera water before treatment (river water) and after treatment, the results revealed that there was significant increase (p = 0800.0) in total available count (TVC) of Al-Kufa water before and after treatment since it was ( 068222 cfu / ml and 0 cfu / ml) respectively .

Moreover there was significant increase (p = 080000) in total available count of Al-Manathera water before and after treatment since it was (608222 cfu / ml and 0 cfu / ml) respectively.

The results of present study indicated that there was significant increase(p = 08000.

) in total coliform count (TCC) in Al-Kufa water before and after treatment since it was ( 628222 cfu / ml and 0 cfu / ml ) respectively and there was significant increase (p = 0800.6 ) in total coliform count in Al-Manathera water before and after treatment since it was (06866 cfu / ml and 0 cfu / ml) respectively, and the results of this study improved that there was no growth for Salmonella.spp and V.

cholera in Al-Kufa and Al-Manathera water after treatment. Also the present results indicate that there was significant increase (p = < 0.0001) in total dissolved solids (TDS) in Al-Kufa water before and after treatment when it was (1188.3 ml / l and 854.67 ml / l) respectively, and there was significant increase (p = < 0.0001 ) to total dissolved solids in Al Manathera water before and after treatment when it was ( 854.67 ml / l and 869.00 ml / l ) respectively, also the study improved that there was significant increase(p = < 0.0001) in turbidity in Al-Kufa water before and after treatment when it was (34.667 ftu and 3.3133 ftu) respectively, and there was significant increase (p = < 0.0001 ) in turbidity in Al-Manathera water before and after treatment since it was (38.000 ftu and 3.2567 ftu ) respectively, and there was no significant increase between Al-Kufa and Al-Manathera water in turbidity after treatment , also the results demonstrated that was no significant increase between Al-Kufa and Al-Manathera water in acidity (PH) levels before and after treatment.
