“…The dissolution of phosphorus compounds in the Earth's crust is a result of rainfall and washing of agricultural lands (Rasan, 2001) in addition to the domestic wastewater that the canal containing phosphate compounds receives without treatment (Hassan et al, 2018). With respect to the low concentrations during November and March, it may be traced back to the consumption of orthophosphate by phytoplankton and aquatic plants to flourish in spring and fall.…”

Any external impact on the boundaries of the chain forming this natural balance causes this balance to be negatively affected, leading to environmental problems (Genc, 2018).As a result of multiple human activities, rivers have become a reservoir of flows, including industrial and agricultural activities. The current state of the rivers shows that there is great concern regarding the quality of water in these aquatic ecosystems as a result of their exposure

“…The Shatt al-Basra Canal is an artificial drainage canal and is a waterway linking the southern marshes to the Arabian Gulf (Hassan et al, 2018). It is used to transport floodwater from the Hammar Marsh to Khor Al-Zubair and then to the Arabian Gulf via Khor Abdullah (UNEP, 2001).…”

“…In canal water, these parameters were recorded 7.76-9.04, 0.50-0.96, 1.26-3.05 and 0.23-3.74, respectively. As discussed above, the reasons were the same nutrients i.e., metals and different nutrients excess, but the source could be different i.e., agricultural run-off (Hassan et al 2018), natural rocks weathering and erosion (Zhang et al 2018), and atmospheric deposition also contributes signi cantly into heavy metals pollution and their supply to ground as well as surface water (Wright et al 2018). The soil properties i.e., pH, EC and SAR were also varied in canal and sewage irrigated soils.…”

The reduction in the fresh water supply and increase in the domestic effluents with increase in population and urbanization in the Pakistan force the farmers to use untreated sewage water for the irrigation purposes. Besides high nutrient content Sewage water also have source of metal contamination in the food chain. The present field study was conducted to compare the nickel (Ni), copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) contamination in vegetables grown on soils irrigated with sewage water and canal water in Sargodha, Punjab, Pakistan. The Ni, Cu and Pb contamination was assessed using soil quality indices i.e., contamination factor (CF), metal translocation factor (MTF), pollution load index (PLI), geo-accumulation index (Igeo) and ecological risk index (ERI) were calculated in the collected samples. The physico-chemical properties of soil and water samples were determined. Based on the results, it was revealed that sewage irrigated areas were at higher risks of metals contamination compared to canal irrigated areas. From the studied metals, Pb showed highest contamination potential based on the soil quality indices. In sewage irrigated sites, metal concentrations were found higher in edible parts of the vegetables confirming that sewage water contains and supply more metals than canal irrigated water and pose more health and ecological risks.

“…Groundwater is an important source in the study area and is usually used for agriculture, while there is a problem in the same area related to the Shatt Al-Basrah canal because the water of this canal is polluted. Usually, the amounts of pollutants that flow into the canal from the factories, as well as the drainage of wastewater [1]. There is a need to better understand the interactions between groundwater and surface water (Shatt Al-Basrah Canal).…”

Groundwater in arid and semi-arid regions, such as the studied area (Safwan Al-Zubair area, south of Iraq), is of specific meaning as a major source for domestic use and irrigation demand. There is a need to better understand the interactions between groundwater and surface water (Shatt Al-Basrah Canal). These interactions can negatively affect the quality of groundwater in this area, especially that the water of Shatt Al-Basrah Canal contains highly concentrated pollutants. The aim of the study is to investigate the temporal disparity of river-aquifer interactions and count the amount of river interchange among canal and aquifer. In this research, a new concept of paradigm will be advanced utilizing RIVER package of Groundwater River Paradigm (MODFLOW) for the simulation of river-aquifer interaction operations. Six monitoring wells are chosen to evaluate the preliminary and historical groundwater hydraulic heads for six months and then use all collected data in Modflow to execute the simulation of numerical modeling to assessment the interaction between surface water and groundwater. The amount of seepage out from the canal towards the aquifer was (64.99 m3/day) in wet season (winter season), as a result of the high levels of the surface water compared to the hydraulic heads of groundwater. The amount of seepage in dry season towards the aquifer is equal to (336.8 m3/day).
