The objectives of this study are to determine the chemical, physical and Biochemical characteristics of raw domestic sewage for Basrah city. Results show that; the strength of Basrah raw domestic sewage can be classified as a strong strength concentration wastewater due to high levels of organic loading rate BOD5 , COD. Also, it can be seen a very high concentrations of TDS , CL- and increasing in EC levels above the typical limits due to the salinity of domestic water supply in Basrah.
