A16 wells have been chosen in different areas in Baghdad treated at April, May and Jule (2011). The depths of wells were between 6 – 14 meters. The following tests (Temperature, pH, TDS, BOD, Conductivity, Total Hardness, Ca2+, Mg2+ , Na+ , , , Cl- ) were performed, in addition to bacteriological examination. Results of physical, chemical and bacteriological tests showed that the water qualities of these wells were not agree with standard of WHO requirements, as well as results showed increase in concentrations of TDS, BOD the labertory analysis revealed that increased of total hardness and musured the percentage of Ca2+, Mg2+,Cl--, and polluter with bacteria which not fed human consumption . That indicated the underground waters were highly polluted with the sanitary waste waters (Coliform) the high values of the pervious testes made water unacceptable for drinking but could be used for irrigation. | ||
