Abstract
Some physical and chemical properties for five water purification stations in Baqubh and the villages near it were studied, the study started in January to December 2009, it shows that water ( pH ) concentration is within the weak alkaline aspect ,As for the ratio of total dissolved solids and its relation with the electrical conductivity , the study shows that the quantity of total dissolved solids is within the permitted levels for drinking water , it's also shows that the ratio of total dissolved solids in the stations of Baqubh central and Al-Tahreer is less than the three other stations , Al-Tahreer water station recorded the higher ratio of the concentration of water dissolved solids (485 )ppm in November, whereas Baqubah central station of water recorded the lower ratio (190 )ppm in July ,the electrical conductivity is studied to ensure the containing of the studied samples of the dissolved solids , the concentration of the dissolved oxygen values in the water were measured and shows its within the permitted ratios for drinking water , various ratios were recorded in the lower level in Al-Tahreer water station ( 5.5 )ppm in December , and higher ratio in Al-Hadeed water station ( 12.0 )ppm in January ,total hardness for water was studied and the results showed that calcium and magnesium were the most elements that caused hardness in all the stations mentioned above ,and the ratio of concentration of the two elements were in accordance with the measures of drinking water quality ,the higher ratio of calcium was in Al-Hadeed water station ( 58 )ppm and the lower ratio was in Baqubah central station ( 40.4 )ppm, whereas the concentrations of magnesium recorded opposite values to the concentration of calcium in all station , water turbidity was also studied ,and its shows that water turbidity was in accordance with the permitted measures in some months and not in the accordance with the permitted measures for the most months of the year and recorded ( Turbidity > 5.0 NTU ) in all water stations.
