Assessment of Groundwater in Missan Governorate for Drinking and Agriculture

Abstract

Due to climate changes that are outside human control such as drought and scarcity Rain and fluctuation. However, water management must face these problems by maintaining available water or by looking for new sources of water. 18 wells were selected from various areas of Maysan Governorate and at times throughout the year and in depths ranging between (28-100) m in 2014 and was conducted All chemical and physical tests of groundwater were as follows: High water salinity in the area may be due to a high concentration of calcium .   There should be an inspection of the water quality to detect any changes occurring over time. Physical and chemical properties showed that they are suitable in most locations for human consumption as drinking water after treatment because the values of their basic chemical devices were within the permissible limits. The climatic elements have a direct effect on some water needs, especially the availability of the rain and its absence, temperature, humidity and wind, It is urgent to look for an alternative source of surface water represented by groundwater.
