STUDY SOME PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF DRINKING AND RAW WATER FOR BALADRUZE CITY

Abstract

Some physical and chemical properties of drinking and raw water for Baladruze city in Diyala Governorate they were studied. Where the samples are collected as one sample monthly from new water clarifying station as a source for drinking water and from surface of Baladruze river, one major branches for Diyala river, starting from April to December 2010. The results were shown the acidity ( pH ) for two kinds of water at the weak base because to present the composites bicarbonates of calcium, magnesium and sodium premium another hydroxides. The water samples studied were containing total dissolved salts concentrations within the concentrations allowance ( < 1500 mg/l ) of two types water for most months in year and the total dissolved salts concentrations in drinking water less than raw water. The total hardness of water were within the acceptable ranges ( < 500 mg/l ) and the total hardness in drinking water less than raw water. The studied were shown the concentrations of calcium and magnesium are within allowable concentrations while the concentrations of calcium more than magnesium and concentrations for the both in drinking water less than raw water. The studied were shown the two kinds of water were containing to bounty concentrations from dissolved oxygen, and the water turbidity was conformable for each months studied within allowance ranges of quality water for drinking water and non conformable for raw water.
