This investigation has been conducted to study some bacteria and chemical content of Stagnant water, ground water and streams water (army channel water) in February , 2006 . The samples have been taken from Jamelia town east of Baghdad city (three replicates of each sampling area).
The means rainfall, air temperature , water temperature and evapotranspiration were also measured .
The result of the biological analysis such as aerobic bacteria , Coliform & Fecal coliform , Fecal Streptococci and Pseudomonas aeruginosa have high numbers . The above microbes numbers indicate significant difference among sampling areas.
The chemical analysis result such as Calcium , Magnesium , carbonate& bicarbonate , chlorides , Electrical Conductivity (E.C.) , pH & turbidity in stagnant water chlorides and E.C. have high value in stagnant water . However, PH values have a range from 7.5 - 7.9 .
The mean values of rainfall , air temperature, water temperature and evapotranspiration in February , 2006 ( sampling time ) were 25.2( mm ) , 13.4 ( c ) , 15.5( c ) and 39.6 ( mm ) respectively .
In general, the results indicate that surface water in the nearby streams and rivers could be contaminated by the pathological microbes in the time of this study each year. So, quick solution is required to halt the dangers on the health of freshwater ecosystems and the human communities that rely on them for water supply. |
