Abstract
This paper presents the results of the flowing water characteristics from the sanitation system studied in targeted hospitals in the city of Basra, Iraq, in four sites from the 1st of December 2021 to the 1 st of March 2022, including two major sites for government hospitals and two main sites for private hospitals. Statistical analysis of a set of physicochemical water quality parameters of flowing water collected directly from hospitals and water flowing before mixing with public sewage was conducted to investigate the efficiency of a hospital wastewater treatment plant in Basra, Iraq. The study concluded that the operational capacity in the selected treatment stations is commensurate with the hospital’s absorptive capacity and that all stations from different global origins operate as efficiently. The efficiency of removing Al–Saadi Hospital is 44.7% higher than other hospitals (Al–sader teaching, Al Mawanee, and Al–Mawadda) the efficiency of removing was (43.06%, 41.35%, 37.73%) respectively that have been studied. It is necessary to provide government and private hospitals with biological treatment stations to achieve the water environment in a city that suffers from severe pollution of water resources.
