Chemical Comparison between Two Regions Groundwater in Iraq for Human Uses

Ground water samples from regions Alton-kopry and of Daquq were tested for human suitability of ion concentration. Comparison between Standard Specifications of water for civilian use was conducted using identifiers and indicators. Results showed that investigated water was free from bacterial contaminations and concentrations of some of the properties studied were within the permissible limits, while concentrations exceeded the limits for the other characteristics. In general, water wells were considered acceptable for human use and others need chemical treatments. Tests covered some physical and chemical properties. Samples were collected from 19 selected wells in different locations to test the quality of water in NGC (North Gas Company) laboratories. Such testes included electrical conductivity, PH values, dissolved solids, and hardness in addition to determination of chemical treatment that was necessary.
