| Abstract | ||
| The research deals with assessment of water quality of Euphrates River which passes through the middle of Iraq, samples were taken from three sites on river. The distance covered by these sites is about (30)km (between Al Mussayeb and Al Hindiya cities). In these sites, the river suffers from different sources of pollution. The paper included a study of some physical, chemical, and biological properties (Water Visibility, salinity, electrical connectivity, pH, DO, BOD5, and Chlorophyll). The results are analyzed by using the GIS which requires building a network database which is linked to GIS to make benefit from its analysis power and geographical distribution of data across the study area. The clear data display enables the environment interests of understanding and interpreting the actual results and responding by taking actions the preserve the natural features of the river and its dependences accordingly. The database used to keep tracking the physical, chemical, and biological pollutants and archiving their behavior through the time. | ||
