Study the hardness and some ions in central Karbala drinking water treatment station

Abstract EN

This study included the compromised the containing Hardness and some ions of treated water in central Karbala drinking water treatment station with Iraqi and international drinking water criteria.

Also, this study was attempted to focus on probable pollution sources.

The Hardness and other waters salts Sulphates (SO4), Chloride ion (Cl-), Calcium ion (Ca+2), and Magnesium ion (Mg+2) tests criteria were determined on water samples taken from Al-Hussainia River water source, treated drinking water during October-November 2013 to August - September 2014.Study results revealed an increasing in Total hardness (TH), sulfate, chloride, calcium, in winter (December- January) 2014.

In addition, the results showed a decrease in above mentioned criteria in (August-September) 2014.Study finding revealed that the values of chloride, calcium, sulphate, were out of the Iraqi and the international standards water.

While total hardness, magnesium, and chloride concentrated were within Iraqi and international acceptable standards.
