Analytical Evaluation Study of Some Characterization of Potable water for an Old Well in Baghdad City

Abstract

This study involved measuring seventieth tests five of its physically ,temperature, color, turbidity, electrical
conductivity and pH and remaining tests were chemical ten of them for heavy metals ,the chlorine and fluorine
were also investigated for water of old well in Baghdad city close to tiger river weekly for six months ,this
study showed validity of this well to drink and domestic use within the limit of the properties and elements
studied only ,through the tests ,all the samples were found to be transparent and non-colored ,there was
nothing left after her leaving ,and the pH ranged from (7.655-7.920) , conductivity (821-908µsemens/cm)
and temperature (19.68-23.36ºC) ,the concentrations of elements were (0.031-0.044), (0.038-0,053), (0.009-
0.015), (0.019-0.025), (0.004-0.006), (0.009-0.011), (0.029-0.035), (0.108-0.112) ,(0.003-0.005), (95-111),
and (0.424-0.571) µg/ml for lead ,cadmium, iron, copper, antimony, cobalt, chromium, zinc, manganese,
chlorine and fluorine respectively ,as for nickel, it is not registered, all the tests have been subject to the local
and international standards except lead and cadmium, according to international standard only
