Implication

Comparative evaluation reveals significant microbial contamination in river water, suggesting urgent treatment improvements.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate water quality in the Euphrates and Nadhim Al-Warar rivers, focusing on microbial and chemical pollution.
  • Collected water samples from both rivers between August 2023 and January 2024.
  • Analyzed physical parameters like turbidity and pH, and chemical constituents including dissolved solids.
  • Conducted microbiological analysis using bacterial culture methods.
  • Applied statistical analysis through T-tests with SPSS.
  • Significant reductions in turbidity, total dissolved solids (TDS), and total suspended solids (TSS) after treatment.
  • High levels of microbial contamination detected, including E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus in 90% of samples.
  • Limited impact of treatment on most other physicochemical parameters, indicating ongoing safety concerns.
