Abstract
The current research aims to determine the level of pollution of the water of the Euphrates River in the district of Ramadi, the center of Anbar Governorate, for the period (2019-2020), by conducting analyzes of water samples taken monthly from three sites distributed along the course of the river within the study area, Comprehensive analyzes of some of the pollution indicators were carried out at the beginning of the mentioned period. These analyzes included the following indicators: pH, turbidity degree, electrical conductivity, and total dissolved salts. It also included positive ions (sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium), and negative ions (chlorides, sulfates, phosphates, nitrates), Based on the results of these analyzes, the indicators were tracked, as it was found through the results of the analysis of pollution indicators that all of these indicators were within the permissible limits, except for (degree of turbidity, electrical conductivity, total dissolved salts, and phosphates), as they were outside the permissible limit locally Globally, this is due to the effect of trocar and household waste. In addition to all this, the industrial wastewater discharged into the sewage network, and then into the river’s water.
