Abstract

Natural water contamination is one of the world's most significant environmental issues. Urbanization-induced increases in freshwater demand with population growth, water shortages in arid and semi-arid areas, and industrial and agricultural processes are primarily responsible for of this. The purpose of the current study is to assess Haditha Dam's water quality adequacy. The water quality of the reservoir at Haditha Dam was evaluated in this study using nine parameters: pH, electrical conductivity(CE), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Chloride (Cl-), Calcium (Ca), Sulfate (SO4-2), Sodium (Na) Potassium (K), and Magnesium (Mg). SPSS software was used to analyze the data and assess its quality. Two years' worth of data was gathered from 46 samples, and parameters were evaluated using accepted methods. Except for pH, which had moderate values, the results showed low average concentrations for every parameter. The outcomes were contrasted with WHO and Iraqi water quality guidelines. This study offers guidance for efficient Water resource management and planning, including their appropriateness for drinking and irrigation. The findings indicate that while the river's water is suitable for irrigation, it is not fit for human consumption.
