| Abstract | ||
| The present study aimed mainly at analyzing water quality of Mahaweel River water using 150 samples from three sampling sites. The analyzing of water quality was arranged according to parameters, temp., pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO μg/ml), biological oxygen demand (BOD μg/ml) and chemical oxygen demand (COD μg/ml), all these parameters were compared with the American National Environmental Purity Standards (ANEPS) for industrial effluents. Large variations were found in all water quality from the three. The average value of (DO) was between 16.10-25.30 μg/ml), the average of (BOD) was between 12.10-25.60 μg/ml), the average of (COD) between 21.50-77.90 μg/ml) from three sampling sites. The pH average of all sampling was (7.20-7.75). In spite of the variations which were found in all water quality, the study results revealed low pollution during 11 months at three sampling sites. | ||
