“…The information on the stratigraphic sequence was obtained through the wells that were drilled by [1], as they penetrated the Euphrates formation. The age of this formation dates back to the Lower Miocene, consists of light to dark limestone that contains: Bituminous and fossils in some of its upper parts, As well as containing marly limestone, dark to light colored marl, and this corresponds to the lithological description of the same formation in Najaf Governorate [6], [7]. There is no significant heterogeneity in the lithology formation between the upper part of the formation and the lower part of the Fatha formation above it.…”

This study dealt with the reality of groundwater before Sulfur production in the Al-Mishraq field-1 and after production stopped in the field, by measuring the groundwater table for (44) wells in 2021, and comparing it to the groundwater table measured by the Polish company Centrozap in 1971, the groundwater table was a range between (187.71-205.8)m in 1971, but in 2021 it ranged was between (188.51-196.55)m.Maps of the groundwater movement and water table were created using these data. It turned out that there was little change in the direction of groundwater flow; in both cases, the flow is from the west and northwest towards the east with a slight slope toward the southeast and the Tigris River. As for hydraulic properties, it was analyzed in (29) wells, depending on pumping test data from the reports of Al-Mishraq, It was noted that the values of Transmissivity ranged between (1557.5-24.4) m2/day before production and (5020.6-39.4) m2/day after production, As for hydraulic conductivity, it ranged between (0.26-14.68) m/day before production, and after production, it was between (0.4-48.9) m/day.

Water is essential for daily activities and maintaining human well-being. However, in many less-developed countries, including Ethiopia, the lack of a well-developed wastewater treatment system leads to contaminated surface water. This poses significant risks to human health. To address this problem, wastewater can be treated using locally available materials such as wood ash and cement as chemical coagulants. The objective of this study was to treat wastewater using these materials. The study involved analyzing a 20-liter sample of wastewater from the Awetu River in Jimma City, Ethiopia. The materials used for the treatment included wood ash, cement, and lemon. Various doses of cement and wood ash were prepared and added to the wastewater. The results showed that 5 g was the optimum dosage for effectively treating the wastewater. The treated water at the optimum dosage exhibited significant improvements in turbidity, total dissolved solids, conductivity, and color, meeting drinking water criteria. Overall, the study concludes that locally available materials such as wood ash and cement can be successfully utilized as chemical coagulants for wastewater treatment. This approach offers a viable solution for improving water quality and reducing the risk of waterborne diseases.

“…Since some of these sedimentary cycles are integrated or lack one of the four aforementioned components, the most important characteristic of the Al-Mishraq region is the mineralization of gypsum and anhydrite rocks into Recrystallized sulphureous limestone and secondary limestone [2], [4]. The components of AL-Fatha formation of the aperture are different, they are limestone and siltic, when the sea is open, and when the sea is blocked, this leads to the formation of deposits of evaporites of the type of gypsum, anhydrite and salty substances, but the facies of the evaporites are dominant in the AL-Fatha formation [5], [1].…”

This study included an assessment of the hydrogeological conditions of the Mishraq sulphur fields before production, by measuring groundwater levels in (11) wells in Mishraq-2 in 2021, as well as the information of wells obtained, which are (12) wells in Mishraq-3, (68) wells in Mishraq-1. Groundwater levels ranged between (187.71-205.80) m in Mishraq-1, while in Mishraq-2 it ranged between (189.19-196.26) m, as for Mishraq-3 the levels were between (186.4-194.98) m. The contour maps were drawn for the movement and levels of groundwater, showing that the direction of groundwater movement in Mishraq field-1 is from the west and northwest to the east, with a slight slope towards the southeast, towards the Tigris River, while in the Mishraq field-2, we notice that the direction of groundwater movement is From the east to the west, that is, toward the Tigris River, as for Mishraq field-3, it was found that the direction of movement is from the southeast toward the northwest, that is, toward the Tigris and Great Zab rivers. So it can be said that the Tigris and Great Zab rivers are the two drainage areas in these three fields. The hydraulic properties were analyzed in (44) wells in the three Al-Mishraq fields. Where the values of Transmissivity (T) in Mishraq field-1 ranged between (24.4-1557.5) m2/day, as for Mishraq-2 it ranged between (23-96.91) m2/day, while in Mishraq-3 it ranged between (10.5-4002) ) m2//day, and the hydraulic conductivity (K) ranged between (0.26 -14.68) m/day in Mishraq field-1, as for Mishraq-2 it ranged between (0.7-4.2) m/day, while in Mishraq-3 It ranged between (0.37-119.09) m/day.
