النوعية المايكروبية و الفيزيوكيمياوية لبعض مياه الأهوار في محافظة ذي قار

Abstract EN

Themicrobial quality which included Aerobic plate count (APC), total coliform, staphylococcus aureus, presumptive test for Salmonella and mold and yeast in addition to some physiochemical quality such as PH , BOD , TSS , Calicum and sulfate ion for marshes water taken from four areas in Thi-Qar governorate ware studied.

The results showed that the APC the and total coliform count ranged from 2.5×105 to 158 × 105 CFU/ml for APC and from 32 × 102 to 72× 102 CFU/ml for total coliform and from 90 to 700 CFU/ml for staphyloccus aureus, while the count for mold and yeast ranged from zero to 20 CFU/ml .

the highest counts for APC and Coliform were in region (B) which were 185×105 and 72×105 CFU/ml respectively.

80% of the all water samples did not contain salmonella .

the highest count was for staphylococcus aureus is region (D) which was 700 CFU / ml .

the results for physiochemical studies showed the PH value ranged between 7.6 to 7.9 while BOD was between 4.1 to 4.4 mg/liter.the highest value for TSS , calcium and sulfate ions of water samples during the study period were 115.3 , 10.2 and 598 mg/liter respectively.
