Study of qualitative properties of groundwater and its suitability for different uses in the Eastern of the Al- Dour city/ Salahaldin/ Iraq
Main Article Content
Abstract
A study was conducted to evaluate the groundwater in Abo- Dalaf Area, far east of Al-Dour city, Salahaldin governorate. The field work included, field visits to the area to know the geological reality and to identify the most important geomorphological and structural phenomena, then 10 wells were selected, distributed over the study area.
Laboratory work included physical and chemical tests of water samples, The physical characteristics included, Total hardness (TH), Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Sodium Ratio (Na%), Temperature (T) and pH.
