Evaluation of chloride concentration in River Euphrates at al-Diwaniya City

Abstract EN

The quality of surface waters may deteriorate due to the presence of various polluting parameters such as salts, organic and inorganic matters.

Chloride is such a polluting parameter.

The presence of chloride, in rivers and streams is due to waste water and drainage water disposal.

This study is concerned with evaluating chloride concentration in river Euphrates through Al-Diwaniya city.

Chloride variation with distance and time was studied and the effect of its concentration on various uses of the water was evaluated.
