Impact of Hijlan Creek springs on water quality of the Euphrates River and the hydrochemical characterization of the contamination plumes

The aim of this work is to present the hydrochemical mechanisms describing system Euphrates River before and after mixing with groundwater from springs Hijlan (western Iraq). Continuously, data generated these water have been adapted provide an updated assessment for future therapeutic purposes. Physicochemical characteristics in plume Creek indicate multi Hydrochemical plumes as revealed by spatial variation important parameters related ecological including K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, HCO3−, SO42−, Cl−, NO3−, PO43−, Pb, Zn, Cd, Fe, Mn, Temp, DO, BOD5, H2S, Turbidity, EC, pH, TDS. re-aeration (k2) de-oxygenation rate (k1) coefficients, well self-purification factor (f) plume, are 0.51, 2.03 0.25 s−1, respectively. Cl− concentration confluence zone changes, due chloride content rates 7.1 92.9% creek water, respectively, discharge 316,224 m3/day load 420 tons/day. quality indicates unsuitability aquaculture However, can be used purposes cure multiple diseases.
