Evaluation of the suitability of drinking water in Abu Ghraib district

Abstract

The results of laboratory tests of raw water samples at the water purification complexes intake showed that there is a difference in the suitability of this water to prepare water purification projects and complexes during the months of February and July, in addition to its unsuitability for drinking purposes due to the presence of a bacterial indicator in it. The results of laboratory tests also showed the inefficiency and unsuitability of the water prepared from the water purification complexes represented by (Al-Bassam Water Complex) for drinking, so it does not meet the needs and requirements of the population, and that it is of a quality that does not match the approved standard specifications. As for the efficiency and suitability of the water prepared from the projects (Al-Fakhriya Water Tank, Abu Ghraib Central Center Project (Al-Rafoush), Al-Zaidan Water Project) for drinking, this is due to the distance of the source of water supply for the projects from the sources of pollution, in addition to the great interest in the projects and conducting periodic tests and continuous follow-up by specialized cadres.
