Abstract
Abstract The research aims to assess the water quality of the Tharthar Canal and its suitability for human activities in the study area by conducting physical and chemical analyzes of that water and showing its suitability for human uses. The results of the study show that most of the samples in the study area are not suitable for human use, especially drinking. The total hardness, sulfate and calcium values were determined only after filtering and processing to become drinkable, while laboratory analyzes showed that they are suitable for agricultural use in all samples of the study area. Because of the importance of the research, the physical and chemical properties were addressed to find out if they were affected by the natural or human geographical characteristics and their impact on the residents of the nearby areas and their various activities to find out the problems and develop appropriate solutions that would address the problems and adopt it as a fixed water source. It became clear through the field study that the Al-Tharthar-Euphrates Canal is not approved by the population as a main water resource, but most of the residents of the areas relied on wells for their various activities, foremost of which is agriculture and drinking.
