Validating Sustainable Water Resources And Fluid Flow By Studying Phosphorus Concentration Of Tigris River Water In Baghdad

Water pollution poses one of the major global threats for any political and scientific communities impairing life and health, damaging industrial activities as well as sustainable growth and development of a civilization. In Iraq, population and industrial expansion in the city of Baghdad and major cities has led to the establishment of many industrial projects in various areas. The presence of harmful substances in small quantities from these plants to the river directly does not cause water pollution, but there accumulation for a long time pose a threat to the quality of water as well its environment and organisms such as fish, aquatic animals that harbor that habitat. Water pollution in general is demonstrated by the decrease or increase of dissolved oxygen, the increase in dissolved nutrients, the increase of water polarity and its effect on light penetration. Therefore, the current study aimed to evaluate the qualitative changes (phosphorus concentrations) in the Tigris River water in Baghdad city by assessing the river water quality in various seasons of the year. The study has used the ongoing water treatment projects such as Al- wahda, Al- rashed, Al- karama, Al- wthba, Al- doura, Al- qadisiya, Um al- khanazeer, Shark dijjila and Al- khademya. in the Baghdad city as raw water sources. Furthermore, the study also emphasized the effect of water quality in Tigris River produced from water purification projects of Baghdad city that sites the river path. Chemical tests were conducted on the collected samples in order to identify the main environmental problems affecting the Tigris water quality from the polluted areas and finally identifying ways to reduce the degree of pollution to reach the best ways to protect the aquatic environment. Simultaneously, some toxic ions have also been tested from these samples from seven water stations on the Tigris River in Baghdad. A study of the water of Nehridgele has been conducted in winter and spring, and were compared with the data from the past years (Data taken from Ministry of Environment, Water Resources, and Baghdad Municipality). This study is an investigative survey of the pollutants of the Tigris River passing through the city of Baghdad and the identification of polluted areas in the river water, which will serve as a guide for all workers in this field.
