Abstract
This study was performed on Al-Yousifiya River waters for a distance extending to 68 Km at the rate of three stations extending along the river, and for a period of one complete year starting from the autumn season of 2010 to the Summer season of 2011 and at seasonal rate for the one station. The study included measuring some of the Physical, Chemical and Bacteriological Factors. The values of turbidity ranged between (1.5 – 20.3) NTU, as for the total solid substance they ranged between (520 – 1395) mg/L, the highest values were recorded during the Spring season and the lowest values were recorded during the autumn season of 2010. The values of lead ranged between (0.02 – 0.035) mg/L where the highest values were recorded during the winter season and the lowest during the autumn and summer season which intangible results , contrary to what was noticed for copper where it recorded the highest values during the spring season which was (0.045) mg/L and the lowest during autumn and summer season which was intangible results , as for the value of iron which ranged between (0.04-0.44) mg/L, the values of the total aerobic bacterial count ranged between (1.3× 102 – 6.5× 106) cell / ml , as for the coliform bacteria , their values ranged (1.7× 102 – 8× 105) cell/ml, and lastly the value of fecal coliform bacteria ranged between (1.3× 102 – 2.15× 105) cell / ml.
