EVALUATING THE GROUND WATER SUITABILITY FOR A NUMBER OF WELLS IN BAGHDAD PROVINCE FOR IRRIGATION PURPOSE

The quality of the groundwater should be monitored constantly for the purpose of irrigation. So, that the hazard of ground chemical pollutants can be minimized by a suitable treatment method. Therefore, the aim of this research was to find out the suitability of the ground water that has been collected from Baghdad province, Iraq, for the purpose of irrigation based on the different parameters of water quality. In this research, twenty-eight samples that were collecting from different positions of the study region and the parameters were analyzed such as pH, Ec, TDS, HCO3 - , Ca+2, mg+2 , Na+ , k+, Cl- , So4-2 and N0- 3, based on the above some of parameters like (Ca+ 2, mg + 2 , Na) were used for calculations of sodium adsorption ratio. The water quality parameters: EC, Na, Cl, HCO3 and SAR were calculated in order to determine the WQI of the studied area. The values of these characteristics were found more than the permissible limits in the some of the samples of studying area. The higher values of these parameters would increase WQI value. The WQI is an important classification to stand on the whole water quality in a lone term that is helpful for determining the appropriateness of water fort irrigation purpose, was also appreciated. The present dataset established the application of water quality indicators that may be useful for decision makers for managements, treatments and sustainable development in genera
