Study of the physicochemical parameters of groundwater in Al-Diwaniyah Governorate/Iraq

Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study was to identify some physical and chemical characteristics, as well as the concentrations of nutritional salts such as phosphates nitrates and nitrites in the groundwater of ten wells selected in various locations in Al-Diwaniyah Governorate from July to September 2023. The temperatures of the wells’ water were somewhat similar between Wells values ranged between 18-21 degrees Celsius. The pH values ranged between (7.1-7.5). EC values were (1345-18460) μs/cm. TDS values were between (13840-1084) mg/l. total hardness values were (500-4006) mg/l, Chloride ion values were between (138-4960) mg/l. and Sulfates (SO4) values were (288-952) mg/l. Nitrate, Nitrite and Phosphate values were between (12.64 - 0.75) mg/l, (0.002-0.384) mg/l and (0.024-4.128) mg/l, respectively.
